How many are retiring their G35 coupes?

with 4 dollars a gallon or even 5 not being unrealistic in the very near future.
is anyone else making their coupe a garage queen. To be polished and shiny but never driven?

$50+ a fill up and 21mpg makes baby jesus cry.

Luckily i have a second car.. my 02 accord coupe v6..
but even it makes maybe 29/30 mpg at best.

is anyone planning to drive another car for awhile or purchase a second
"beater" like a prius or jetta TDI?

I have to drive at least 50 - 100 miles every day for work and school.
are the prices killing anyone else?

My car is already garaged pretty frequently (weekend driver), and I'm highly considering getting a hybrid in the future.

The G usually stays in the garage until the weekend or when I just feel like driving em'... I drive a honda delsol si for my daily driver and I still think that thing sucks up way to much gas...

Yeah my G gets the better gas mileage. I am considering a more fuel efficient car to replace the SUV

my 04 civic value package is my commuter. it gets 32/38mpg and i don't have to pay gas for it as it comes out of our house account. (aside from my allowance). ive always driven this car since i got the g... i leased it a week after buying my g. my g's not really a garage queen as i drive her and my other car on the weekends for fun.

Yes.. =(

that 48mpg diesel VW is looking good right now.

all of us G35 owners should move to Venezuela where gas is .20 cents a gallon
or to the Middle east where its .50 cents a gallon.

I wonder if the end is near for gasoline cars cuz Bush obviously doesnt plan to do ****.. in a interview he danced aroudn the question of oil companies price gouging with "I Believe Corporate America should aid in helping americans" or some crap like that.

I live in texas. which is kind of ironic if you think about it..
I think that and the other gas station is gouging cuz the other ones are 3 or 4 at the most.

That's insane, it's a little over 3 dollars down here and I thought that was out of control.
