Those of you familiar with my Pantera know of its distaste for pump gas. Anything less than 100 octane makes for grumpy driving, and embarrassing dieseling at shut-off. When the price went up to six bucks a gallon I started wondering if driving a car that only gets 8.5 mpg was a good idea.

In the end, I decided the cost of fuel doesn’t matter. With the price of video games at $60, I think my car still delivers a good entertainment value. But sometimes I envy you that have turbo fours and sixes.

Here is what I don’t understand… How come the price of gas has dropped considerably and I’M STILL PAYING SIX BUCKS A GALLON?
