Gas Price Changed How You Drive??
 

Since the price of gas has been going up has anyone changed there driving habits at all
to use less gas or do you still drive the same ammount and just as fast??

------------------
93-LX: 5 Speed, Flow's with H-Pipe, 3.73's Sub's and K&N.

Nothing has changed for me here. I still accelerate moderately, shift at 3000rpms and get 19-21 in town.

Everyone on here I see gets what I consider good gas milage, I get about 16 miles to the gallon on the highway. But, I don't go out as much as I used to and not having to drive to school anymore this year helped with weekly gas milage. But I still run 93 octane.

No change runnign race gas in the stang still $3.50/gallon. Drive the the wheels off the Z71 at $2/gallon for unleaded regular. I drive hard & just live with the cost.

Yeah it has changed my habits. When I bought my flowmasters, I started driving it different. I constantly have my foot in it, just so I can the best outta the sound. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif So my gas mileage actually went down after installing the exhaust. But after the prices are getting so high I think I had better start driving a little more like an old granny and less like a nascar driver...

Well, I drive the olds to work which is a 6 cyl., so it gets way better mileage than the stang, but when not goin to work I still drive the mustang as I always did! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif
And sometimes I drive the Ninja around and that gets awesome mileage!
I'm in West Palm Beach, FL and Premium here is at 1.85

Our premium is at about $1.95 and I still drive the same. What's funny is that our premium is only 15 cents more than regular, but in the Chicago area it was 20 cents more. I don't know what that's all about or if that's even still the case.

I drive about 90 miles a day to work and back. A tank only lasts about 3 trips.

BTW, my wife and I are taking the 'Stang to Chicago for our anniversery in June. That's gonna be fun.

I only get 13 mpg in my car with the c-4 and no over-drive. Have to use premium at $1.75. But I only drive my '66 Stang recreationally, so I don't really go anywhere in it. What bugs me is that I have to putter around Houston for days just to find somebody that might want to go on the street. When I do get one though, it's all worth it, regardless of gas prices. Why doesn't my wife understand all this when the gas bill comes?

i haven't changed a bit. you dont buy these cars for mileage, you buy them cause they have balls or ovaries for you ladies! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

0.79 cents a Litre tonight http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/mad.gif pisses me off more when i know 85% of is tax (you americans don't even know the meaning of tax the way we do).

I've continued to take the bus this summer to work - huge azz savings, plus i save on the rip-off $8/day parking http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

Actually I did buy my car a good deal for mileage.

I was getting sick of 24/26 with no power in my '91 Escort GT, when I knew my previous 88GT got 21/28.

i still drive the same, which is fast, but under control. 87 octane is hovering around $1.80 here in Sandusky.

Change driving habits? Nope.. just have to fuel up more often.... Its at 81.2 cents per litre for 87 octance at some places, average 79.9..

I can't say that i drive any different than i did before. Metal to the floor when intrigued. The prices are definately outrageous. It's all just a big game to all those money hungry tycoons.
