I guarantee the price of Gas would dip below $2. though everyone would still be filling up... they'd be doing it less often and spending less money. the Oil companies would have a surplus on their hands in a few months.

You'd be better off if it ran on douchebag, cause you have an unlimited supply of that.

I get your point...
I just look at it like this.
My truck gets about 14 mpg
My bike gets about 40 mpg
My gas usage doesn't go down much in the summer when the truck gets parked, cause I ride my bike that much more.

Stock ? Humm...that surprises me...awesome little car but torque is almost nonexistant imho.

When I almost bought one...the joke going around was that "Torque was on national backorder". It's the same way with my R6. Now you wind it up and it comes alive...same with my experience with athe S2000.

Just to be clear...I do like the car...looks good...handles well and it will move...you just have to get into the upper rpm range.
Yeah, stock.. A lot of ppl say "OMG theres no torque" but, then you realize the 6 speed is really close ratio, so your never really below 4k driving around town.. And you still get high 20 mpg.. I like.
