Waited almost 40 years for this boy's dream to come true. So it's going to take more than $4 or $5 gas to keep me from enjoying OrangeVert!!

I'll still go wherever, but just not as often. The prices ease off, I go further. The prices go higher, I stay closer. Our Camaros look great whether rolling or standing still!

People crying about 3.80 gas, or 4.10 gas....

It's almost at 5.00 here for gods sake, and I can only imagine what it's like in Canada.

Higher prices don't concern me. I'm not planning on slowing down on mods a bit! Vmax TB is on the way and I'm clicking submit on an SCT tuner from Jannetty!

I'm seriously thinking of selling my car, and buying a cheap sportster, just to save for a ZL1

Well I have a 65 mile a day commute-If I had a 20 mile commute gas prices wouldn't matter, it adds up QUICK. I went from $40.00/week to $60.00/week and CLIMBING, That's $80.00+ extra a month I'm spending on gas that I didn't spend 6 months ago. So yeah, I'm crying....

Remember when gas was this high 2 years ago and then magically came back down? You know why? Because in the month it crossed into $4 a gallon territory Americans suddenly bought 1 BILLION gallons less. They drove less, carpooled more. The oil companies suddenly found themselves with so much excess inventory they couldn't even unload the tankers in the ports; there wasn't any place to put the oil! All storage was full and they had to bring prices down quickly or start shutting down production. They were losing money and governments were losing sales tax revenue, so they got the message.

There's absolutely no good reason for prices to be what they are other than stupidity and greed. So help bring prices down; buy less gas! If everybody does what we did last time, they'll get the message again.

And you thought that gas prices would always be low?

Read the news, everyone could see this rise coming months ago when the protests started in Egypt....

If you can't afford gas don't buy a car that has a 6.2L engine (or in your case a 3.6?)

When people complain about gas prices for their GAS GUZZLING cars I just look at them and ask why the hell did you buy the car then? Back to my thought on if you can't really afford a car don't buy it and suffer.

Yeah, doesn't make any difference. We HAVE cut way back and the refiners cut production of gasoline even more. Refineries have been running at less than 60% capacity for some time. This is why all the dolts who say "just buy a more economical car" are so wrong.
