I dont know if i should buy something that gets good gas mileage or save for stuff for the 7 because i know gas prices are just gonna keep going up and it damn near $2 a gallon now. im going to college and am thinking keep the seven at one of the parents houses(divorcing)for a year or so until the prices go down. my current daily driver is dying and i promised i would sell it back to the person i bought it to when i went to college. it get **** gas mileage anyway (86 cougar 5.0 swap) but it gets me around. lets hear some opinions.

The thing about rising gas prices is...



I dont understand why people buy a new car just because it gets better gas mileage.



DRRRR with the money you spent on the new car you could easily pay for a whole hell of alot of gas!!!
