I'm having to put off any further mods for Ol' Blue for a while. I do need to order more Adam's Car Wash and Detail Spray though...anybody else putting off mods due to stupid GAS COMPANIES and their FLEECING of American consumers?

If it were my daily driver, the blower & cam would have been a figment of my imagination!

Not putting off mods but I have seen more local car clubs having to car pool to meets

Heck my Camaro gets better fuel economy than my 04 Ram Hemi so I'll continue to drive it when I can. It's cheaper on gas, and it makes me smile.

I'm putting off mods only because I've already did them all!!

Gas prices do nothing to change my driving habits. $10 bucks here and there won't kill me.

Now rain or snow- car stays in the garage.

Well I haven't drivin my car in about 2 weeks, but that's because I'm having some exterior body parts added to it...I'm saving on gas but spending money on the instal...Wait that doesn't come out even...dang it.

Get real- The gas companies are not making prices go up. It's the powers that be that keep us from drilling in the gulf and on our own land. There's also other reasons but remember NO POLITICS HERE !

I normally don't disagree with you, but drilling in the Gulf or on land has nothing to do with it. ALL oil that is drilled is bought and sold in an open market. Any oil that is produced will be managed in that same open market, and will have no affect on oil prices sold to refineries. Oil producers have increased output, but the prices keep going up so it is not a supply issue ...

Taintedveins · 05-04-2011, 05:29 PM

but what can we do about it? unless the owner of chevron wants to give us all free gas for life we have to suffer through it.

Ya,

it hurts! But i think that it will take much higher prices for me to slow down on the mods!!

scottyvegas · 05-04-2011, 05:43 PM
