"i love it, its a lot more fun to drive"

Hell yeah, I do. I drive slower on the highway and I coast down hills. I use to not care about gas consumption at all but now I'm all about it.

I've adopted the "enjoy it while we still have it" mindset... there's no way we are going to have exciting, powerful cars like this 20 years from now. Hopefully it will be a cycle and in 40 years fuel or some alternative will become cheap again, but you just never know.

What's it like running the car on regular? The good news is that oil prices started to come down yesterday by 2%. I don't think it will be consistant. But it has helped the economy. The Dow was up like 120 points

I haven't needed to.
I own my own a auto performance shop so most the driving I do is to their home or office to meet with them so all I have to do is charge more and I can right off all my gas as a business expense.
