Good point. And if you're a pack-a-day smoker you can save another $2,000/year if you quit now. That will pay for a few more options like navigation on your new Avenger/Sebring. Spread that over 3 years and that's $6,000 in more car you can buy. Buy a hybrid and you've helped the environment in two ways not to mention your health.

AAA says the Average cost of regular is $4.04, Premium $4.43.
Frugal people will use maps or an aftermarket NAV system instead of an OEM Nav.
I'm frugal and I've never even used one, and since I like to plan my trips in advance, I never will.
I certainly would not pay +/- 25% more for less reliability and higher fuel costs. MT should have stayed true to the original purpose of the comparison.

Gasoline here in the Phx area is hovering around the $4.00 mark for regular down from $4.15 a month ago.

That's because oil is only at a "bargain" price of $126 as of this morning... down from a high of $147 a few weeks ago.

The local WaWa gas station dropped 9 cents to $3.84. Not enough to make me get that SRT8 daily driver.

Closed at $115/barrel today. An industry analyst interviewed on the radio said if it hits $90 we could see $3/gallon gasoline.

Back on topic, as I commuted to work this week, Waldorf Dodge (MD) had 6 SRT8 Challengers parked out front - three orange and three black.

Just watched this week's (British show) Fifth Gear. They had a gush fest over the Challenger.

It's up on youtube already for your consumption.
