I have slowed down. I was alreayd driving in a manner where I didn't go over 2000 rpms. Same now... I was going 70-75 mph... I'm running dead on 65 now. Just that little bit of slowing down has brought me another mile to the gallon....

It hurts, but it doesn't really affect what I do. I'm still going to drive around as I always have and do so spiritedly.

I wouldn't say I'm rich, but its not hurting my plans. When I travel, I travel to the US. And the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US dollar now, so any increase in gas price in negated by my money being worth more now

Mean? Canadians mean? Pfffttt!!! Whiner! (just kidding)

On the bright side, maybe with the high price of gas people will be able to get a great deal on a used Camaro SS?

I agree 100% `Lou, I think there's going to be many super deals on Performance cars, but the problem is that once you get a good deal is to have the funds for fuels to drive it
It's great to see in the poll that we have some Rich Member's that don't worry about the price of `gas, or maybe they were just joking or dreaming
