gas prices affecting your VIP purchases?

just wondering how many of you are having to put off planned purchases becuase of the ridiculous gas prices cutting into your disposable income?
it is certainly affecting me... i've noticed over the past few years that it's taking longer and longer to acquire the high dollar parts for various car's i've built...
here in louisville ky, i'm paying 3.39 for 93 octane...that's over $60 a week just to drive to work and home.

I have not been effected to much.. since 96 I have been driving gas guzzling V8's..So I am used to paying up the wazzoo for gas..It was nice when I got this Q and doubled my gas milage compared to my other vehicles...

It's pretty rough. Luckily gas on-base (air force) is a bit cheaper than off. I'm still paying about $63 to fill the tank on the LS. It lasts me a tad over two weeks. I'm with zion_97 though, suprisingly my V8 gets much better gas milage then all my other cars. Granded they were mostly S13s and S14s :)

I had been driving my V12 off n on last week.........



Im an idiot

Thats about right deppending on how you drive. I was able to get 24mpg with stolk wheels and no ac..in the summer I am about 19-21mpg..

60 bucks weekly, 16mpg baybee.

if i keep the speed around 75mph on the freeway without a/c i get about 20. a/c makes a noticeable difference, but it's necessary in this sauna where i live.
all my turbo cars that i had before actually got excellent mileage, even 30+ mpg doing 80+ onthe freeway.

I just drive less to save money...nice weather has helped me cope with a 10c per liter increase

its killing my wallet. i gotta spend about $60-$90 to drive for 1 week on my "Q". thats why i bought a 88 civic hatch yesterday for $900 :). plus my car is about to go into paint in about 2 weeks :)

i was just pissed that when i pumped gas the other day that $60 didn't even fill up my tank.  i need my damn scion back already so i can save some money.

I'm averaging 20+ mpg on my 02 Q. Last fill up about $55 at Costco. I usually don't let it dip below half tank though... just in case.

my LS400 gets the same gas mileage as your car but, it doesn't have a V12 in it. 1gz-fe twin turbo would be nice mmmmm. i too am part of the heavy foot club. lol
