Because I have the Crossfire and my "beater" insured at the same time, this is what I'm thinking about doing. Seeing that the Regal takes regular I was thinking about letting the Crossfire sit for a week. Then the following week, drive the Crossfire. On the week I drive the Crossfire my wife may let her Ranier sit and then drive the Regal to work and use it to do her route. She gets paid about $80.00 a month and in her truck thats about a tank and half This will save me a little bit of money, but thats not really what its all about. MY thinking is this, if it gets any higher, and its supposed to, it will not come as much of a shock when I put my plan into action, kinda of a "premtive strike" So lets hear what you guys are thinking about doing 
It makes me sick that you guys (sorry roger, but you're the dumbass that started this stupid thread) are bitching about gas prices. Honestly! who the [censored] cares?!?!? You drive a nice car Roger, AND you're going to TOTD for FUN!!!! ....don't tell me you can't afford another $50 a month for gas. STFU and pay it. Here's another option: get off the internet and save that money so you can put it towards your gas bill. Or sell one of your cars. If you've got more than one car, and if it's not a Honda Civic or something else more efficient, you've not done "all you can do" to reduce your gas consumption, and you've got no right to [censored].
Yeah, it was the first time I filled up my Z and it was over $55, and I DO wish it was cheaper. But at the same time, I could skip one bar night a month and it totally makes up the difference (it might take two for some of you non-alcoholics, but you see what i'm getting at).
While you're all bitching, i'm gonna drive in a lower gear just so I can hear my engine rev. I'm done ranting I guess.
The thread was started just to see what others have or are planning on doing about the rising gas prices. Lets clear something up right now as I'm not going to let anyone put me into some type of "cheap ass" corner...
1. the use of our Regal by my wife saves us some money, so why not do it.
2. I'm not going to let my car sit because I'm just going to save about $3.00 between the price my Regal takes and the price my Crossfire takes.
3. I don't go to the bar and piss money away, I don't smoke it away and I sure as hell don't inject it away 
4. I have paid through the nose for everything I've ever done to my old CSVT, except for the $90.00 dollars I paid for my first set of Aussie grills and those were installed for FREE!
5. I'm not cheap, never have been, never will be, bel-lee dat
