Default Re: Forget the B-J, OCC, & Ted Nugent stuff !

Musclecars are a very low percentage of vehicles on the road so gas mileage isn't a big deal. The huge SUV's and extended cab pickups we see everywhere are the real gas consumption issue. Heck, the newer Mustangs and 4th gen Camaros get 25-30 mpg on the highway which is pretty darn good for 300+ hp. But these trucks are killing us. Not only that, people continue to just hop in their vehicle and run to the store instead of planning it out and stopping on the way home from work or while running other errands. If I'm really good, I can go 2-1/2 to 3 weeks before filling up. I only put 12K miles on my 88 4Runner from 10/04 through 11/06. So yes, we all need to drive less and make an effort to conserve fuel. But we'll still be allowed to drive out musclecars!
