I'm not buying a economy (slow) car to save any amount. But to each his own.  But where does the $150 extra come from? |
Guess I didn’t word that right, yep the RX8 will probably be less fuel efficient than a V-8 Camaro. From my standpoint I’m thinking in another 2 years if gas prices are as high as some analysts claim ($7/gallon) then a V-8 will easily cost me $150 more per month than something with less power. Performance for performance I think the Camaro will offer good gas mileage, its just that if we do get to European levels of gas cost I’ll probably have to go to two vehicles. One fun but fuel efficient like a Cooper Clubman S ($202 less per month at $7/gal) and something just fun like a used Z4, Boxster, Elise or Corvette.
