I’d like a car that gets better than the 13 mpg I’m getting in my TA, but by the same token, you pay to play. I love driving around in my car with the ttops down and hearing the rumble of the V8. So I don’t really care what the gas mileage is because to me, its worth it. People will do what they want to do.

I want to know the demographics for this survey. did they only survey lower - middle class people, which the gas prices will effect much more, or was it a more well rounded group of every class?
