I do it because I abhor waste. I love V-8s for the power and awesome sound, but cannot justify it for a daily driver. In my thirty years driving on the street 4 cylinders has done everything I needed with only a few exceptions. Track days and autocross with great handling 4 cylinder cars are a real hoot that just happen to use very little $ and resources.
Somewhere along the way I realized that our gas guzzling waste:
1) pollutes our declining air quality
2) negatively affects the environment
3) supports nations and ideologies that HATE Americans
4) puts our nation at greater financial risk to petroleum cost fluctuations
5) causes decision makers to send our sons and daughters to war
Honestly I can't think of anything good about wasting fuel, except for my selfish desire to be rippin' through the gears. I'm just kind of over doing that thing on a daily basis.
