I am going to keep driving my bug even if gas is $1/gal.
I am going to put the Camaro back on the road and build a new generation V6 motor for it. Then sell the bug when gas goes back over $3/gal and everyone freaks out.
Hopefully the smaller Camaro engine will be in and running by then.
That 5.0L cast iron boat anchor sucks fuel and sucks in the power department, if I am going to have a 200hp engine with around 200 torque then I might as well have a V6 that is 200 pounds lighter and gets decent fuel economy.
The Camaro has not burned through a tank of gas since I joined ecomodder.
