It is for me, I used to drive 3 hours to see my family & friends every other weekend or so. Now i don't go for a 3weeks to a month. It's boring as crap here so that's why I go home, but shit it's to damn expensive to go down there now. Since I'm living on campus I have made a half a tank of gas last 3 weeks by just driving to the store or to get some food. But in the meantime gas prices went up over 30 cents in that time. :cuss:
It's now 2.39 for premium. Was 2.29 for 3 days and went up 10 cents of course on the day I buy gas. But I just can't let myself get on the freeway sometimes with just giving it some gas. :burnout:

Nope. Still getting 10-12 MPG and will continue to do so.
F@$* no. Gas in Canada is $0.95 cents per litre for 91 octane so don't get too worked up about $2.75 a gallon. Drive the car and have fun, you live once and can't take the money to the grave.
I'm driving faster,........ before it runs out!
Not yet. When I bought my cobra I decided I was an ass wipe if I ever wanted to snivel about gas prices. If the cost of gas was important to me, I would have stayed with my old Accord
Its hurting me i have trouble paying for the car, now gas is killing me. being 19 and going to school and not working to much doesn't help any. lets just say i havn't used the boost in about 2 months. (well maybe a little) 
Not really, but I am starting to notice that I spend a ton on gas all the time.
lol...either way im screwed...other car is a expedition eddie b with all wheel drive...
It effected me, I traded my Lightning for a 04 Cobra. Much better gas milage, and now the smile on my face is even bigger.
Hell yea it has... I dont get on it as often anymore, I dont feel like dumping all this money into gas, and I find myself driving my breater more often now
i traded my lightning for my cobra last april. cobra is way easier on gas. i just bought my wife a 05 toyota prius and she doesnt work so i am driving it most of the time and saving the cobra for our weekends and the drags. some day we will all be driving hydrogen cobras!

The bike is getting a lot more daily use now that it is getting warmer and not to mention the big difference in MPG. Its great to get the same performance as the Cobra and sip down 36 MPG....

i feel ya!
but school is almost out and i plan to be bankin' again this summer. i'd like to get the cobra paid off before i come back to school in august, we'll see.....
but honestly, i'd rather be the 19yr old watching his bank account, paying for his own 04 cobra and ALL expenses that go along with it.....and keeping a good GPA, than the other 19+yr olds i know that are just worried about trying to figure out how they can get cash back at the grocerie store so they can go buy beer on their parent's dime without them knowing.
