Be glad you don't live in Europe. Life costs money, if you can't afford your lifestyle, change it.

How is it effecting me? Well, yesterday I burned through a whole tank of gas in one day. I think I averaged about 11-12 MPG. It was epic and definitely worth the cost for a tank of gas.

I bought the car to have fun, and that means burning fuel. I knew it going in so I don't really mind.

Bought me a 2000 Honda civic for DD, problem solved. Evo is only driven 1 day per week. Get a beater ASAP before the prices are jacked up!

My worry about gas has nothing to do with driving the evo but more to do with how it will effect the economy which in turn will effect me.

This.

There has been many occasions where I've killed a tank in less than 30 hours, and I can assure you it will happen again this summer!

For everyone out there...... EK Civic HX, EG VX, Crx HF are the MPG sleepers...
My 97 DX still does very well though.

This is me taking cabs or having a dd and drinking or enjoying driving the evo or riding my motorcycle. I blew like 150 bucks last night going out drinking, did I have a blast....yes. Do I blow money on my car.... yes. Do I have a blast driving it yes. Do I worry about gas or e85 prices.... No If I did I wouldn't have bought a turbo car.
