[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 2168402, member: 7315"] Well, I think you have a problem if you don't want to cruise @ 2700 with your 3.55's. At 72 (a pretty popular cruising speed where I live) in 6th, you'd be @ 2000 (not smooth) & DEFINITELY not a good rpm to accelerate from...or..your @ (uh oh) 2700 in 5th, what gear would YOU use? 5 mpg HUGE. Really??? Well if you drive 15k/yr. That means an extra 500 gal./yr @ $2.75 = $ 1375 = $ 3.75/day. Can YOU account for EVERY $3.75 you spend EVERYDAY of the year ? Maybe YOU should think about a PRIUS too. :poke: Just busting balls..but you get my point...the alleged onerous price of gas isn't a big deal; especially in the context of driving a car that puts a smile on your face! I've had this discussion many times here & people just don't know what they are talking about...I'm just frustrated with people using 1960's logic & complaining about gas prices. [/QUOTE]
