How bad is your gas mileage?

Air car not a scam as far as I can see.

Remember, this country ran people and materials on four cylinders for years in the form of steam. The idea is not new, but the distance I am sure is going to be different from a 100 ton+ locomotive and a 1700 pound car.

A lot of you guys say you couldn't care less about the price of gas. The way I see it, if you're getting 10 mpg @ 60mph that's about $5.00 for every 10 mins of drive time. That's definitely getting up there in costs, and how long before gas hits the $ 6.00+/gal. mark?

I know it's utterly disgusting for most Cobra owners out there to use a non-Ford engine, but I have always done my "thing", and that's why I decided to use a LS7 motor. Stock ZO6's easily are getting 28mpg , and with my .64 o/d and 3:55 gears, I'm hoping to get at least 25mpg and that's going to help take the sting out of the high price of fuel.

Yes, but FE's will still be snickering at you behind your back....

Just a hunch, but I think we'll see $4.00 gas before we see $6.00 gas. Some say that the run up in oil prices is due to speculation. If that's the case (no one knows), the bubble will burst and we'll benefit from slightly lower gas prices.

Premium gas in my area, Sacramento, CA, is $4.77 and I consider that price to be $5 I feel for those who have 3 ton truck/SUV's that get 14-19 mpg that those owners drive (commute) on a daily basis, now that is expensive. I choose when to drive my Cobra. If I had to drive my Cobra 100 miles daily to work at 10-12 mpg ($5 an hr as someone computed) that would put on strain on my budget.
But my Cobra is pure entertainment for me and I am worth $5/hr. (at least most of the time... )
