€1.67/liter here, for 95 RON (91 for you guys), €1.72/liter for 98 RON.

Does it keep me from driving the Camaro? Nope, the ministry of traffic does, by not allowing me to register it.

Actually... Call me crazy, but I am looking into buying a pickup with a huge engine... No taxes, due to being a light truck... And no one who cares about the fuel consumption?

PS: There was a sketch on tv last week which I happened to see as I walked past.
Two guys siting in the bar, one saying to the other "fuel price is up again". The other one replies "who cares, i only fill her up for €20 anyway"

1.72 Euro/l (2.27 Dollar/l) * 3.78l/G -- Is that really 8.58/G ?

Sheesh...

I might not drive it to the store as often but I will be taking it on trips as much or more than usual. you buy a camaro knowing that it is going to cost to drive one, no big deal in my book.

3.92 here, have the option of going 87 if I want, but I won't.

TSSUNAMI · 02-20-2012, 05:30 PM

Gas prices are always in flux. I'm driving my SS in the spring/summer/fall whether it's 3.50 per gallon or 10.00 per gallon.

I'm not a rich man, but if I was that worried about gas prices, I would have bought a Volt.

Should of GOT A V6 , o I did

Nutbutt · 02-20-2012, 06:21 PM

Nothing like 26 MPGs even when the prices were low !

Macfolk · 02-20-2012, 06:28 PM

Pulled up to the pump yesterday to buy premium at 3.99...9. There was a guy filling up his ZO6 at the same time. We commiserated about the extra costs, and then we looked at the other cars filling up, smiled, and revved right out of there loudly. Envy. We saw it.

I just bought my SS two weeks ago. Hell yeah, I'm driving.

cmb74656 · 02-20-2012, 06:28 PM

Hopefully, the pumps won't stop before I get a full tank this time. Happened several times with my truck last time it got around $4/gal.

techinny · 02-20-2012, 06:38 PM

I don't let the tank in my vehicles get below 1/2, I know it's all in my head, but it doesn't hurt so much when I fill up.

And no, I will not stop driving my car!

Blitz · 02-20-2012, 06:41 PM

My other option is an Avalanche... I just filled it up and the "Mercy Rule" kicked in. The pump shut me off at $90.

GunnyG · 02-20-2012, 06:41 PM

$4.23 here in SoCal already. But, it would take nuclear fallout to keep me from driving my Camaro. I just won't take as many spur of the moment cruises to nowhere in particular.
