if your luck and drive slow 17-18mpg on the highway ans 10-12 in the city
And it's apparent that you have no idea what you're talking about.....but that's ok.
See, we (and I include the Viper and Z06 guys in that) have what's called "6th gear." It's an amazing invention that allows the engine to turn at lower RPMs while at a crusing speed....say around 1700 rpms at 80mph, which in turn provides greater gas mileage then an engine turning at say 2800 rpms at 80.
I've also taken my car on some long ass trips and my mileage on the trips has usually been around 24-25 mpg with the exception of the couple of times I've been stuck in DC/NY traffic and even then I was still getting over 20

But that doesn't fit in with his arguement so it's a moot point

You say you probably make more $ then others in this thread, but you can't afford to live closer than 60 miles from your work, and you can't afford to drive a non homosexual car to and from work?
This whole thread seems like it was started so you could feel better about your horrible situation.
It's hard to feel good about being gay.
PS - I hate you for having a Viper trans with the better 6th gear

Actually, I use the 500whp pretty much daily...usually it's to get around some tard in a hybrid who can't merge at speed onto 64/264 because they can't get to 60mph before the end of the ramp
