I wouldnt sell for a variety of reasons, regardless of the hike in price - 1) love the gs too much 2) Im too broke to get a new car.

I'd likely just try to save up to buy an old toyota corolla or something as a commuter and save the GS for Fridays and weekends

NO!!!!! I bought mine after the prices were already high, and I don't care. Hell I pay almost $2000 / year luxury tax just cuz it's considered 3000cc+ ... (even tho its 2997)

Ironically, I just went from a V8 guzzling lifted Nissan Titan to a Honda Accord because of gas and what not. Now I'm looking into strongly getting rid of the Honda for a GS4...... while I love the Honda for gas and reliablity, I miss something fun to drive...... call me crazy, but I just might make this move despite retarded gas prices.

Gas prices will continue to fluctuate.. Is a slight increase in cents worth ditching a car? No.. Just cut back on buying your morning coffee and bagel in the morning from the deli, to offset the cost, if you cannot afford to gas up.

Well I have been worried about the gas prices I have a 99' GS$00 haha Its a 4

and I always felt ehhh... Its cost money to drive this beast and I still feel this way .. Until I have been driving soo much with my new girl ..

as of 3 days ago I just Purchased a 93 Mazda Miata and updated my New signature ... Even with a stock sr20det one tank with lots of boost cost me 28 a tank today and that is average of Hi boosting in 3-4 days ... ehh it works ...



I wish the gas war would calm down though ... Until then I will drive the Gs like a baby ...

The 2nd Gen GS was the car I always wanted and now that I have one I'm loving it. Now that I have a new job that's much closer to home, the current gas prices is even more of a non-issue.

Holy cow lol!!! I just put in $10 of gas as I was leaving my house for a late night cruise and then gunned it up and down the highway hitting boost most of the way. I drove about 10 miles or so and my low gas light lit up when I was on my way back home! Oh well, you gotta pay to play lol . And no I don't have any plans to sell my car anytime soon
