> [@77rednecktruck](#): > > . Would any of you seriously not buy a car because of the gas mileage it gets? Yes. When you drive as much as I do, when you drive for a living, yes, I would… And so would alot of other people who commute long distances or have to be in the car for extended periods of time. I think everyone’s driving habits would change if oil would hit $4/gallon. I know you say you wont change your driving habits, but I don’t think thats true. $4/gallon would get to EVERYONE. Just my opinion ---

I know you say you wont change your driving habits, but I don’t think thats true. $4/gallon would get to EVERYONE. Just my opinion No I would not. If I cared about gas prices I would not have bought a truck that gets the mileage mine does and drive it at least 3 times a week to work (22 mile round trip) and a good bit on the weekends. I work to do the things I enjoy, and driving around in cars/trucks that get horrible gas mileage is fun to me, I will not change. ---

They see this big hoopty coming and stay the fuck out of the way. and it’s fun not caring if you hit anything, what’s another dent in an already beat up dented POS. ---

> [@77rednecktruck](#): > > Would any of you seriously not buy a car because of the gas mileage it gets? I can think of a large segment of boring V6 sedans that i wouldn’t buy because of mileage. On the other hand, i can’t see not buying a mustang GT or something because it got poor mileage.
