Gas prices really don't bother me much at all. When you think about it, $4 to ship 2 tons of metal 20-30 miles is really pretty cheap. Gas is still a pretty small portion of my expenses, and I live 30 miles from work for now (that will change as soon as the lease on my apartment is up, because I haaaate sitting in traffic) so gas prices have very little bearing on what I choose. I'll almost certainly go for the V8, but the V6 is tempting for its lower purchase and insurance costs. If gas prices go higher, there are plenty of things I'd sooner sacrifice, like going to the movies. $10 to see something once that I can pay $10-15 to see unlimited times on DVD? You gotta be kidding me. Where's the outrage about that?

Also, the nice thing about higher gas prices is less traffic on the road. As gas prices rise, my commute gets shorter. So I'm really not sweating this much.

Oh yeah, and I'd say the Camaro isn't a muscle car. Its a pony car.
