But when the new model is released they'll go from being The Squeeky Truck to the Squeeky Ugly Truck, anyone whose had the experience will concur. |

selling a V8 beacuse of rising petrol prices makes no sense at all, it doesnt matter if you drive a 4cyl or a big V8, the increased prices are exactly the same in percentage terms, doesnt matter what how fuel efficiant your car is. eg. a jump in 30c/l is going to be exacly the same for a 4cyl owner then it is to a V8 owner.

I'll drive a V8 til the day the oil wells run dry.
If I wanted A-B transport I'd be driving a 3 cylinder turbo diesel Dihatsu. Higher prices just mean more XB coupes on the market, hopefully! |

If anything, it would be more expensive, 2 rego / insurance etc etc. Would take a long time until you broke even on the investment in a 3 cylinder charade  :

Be a long time until I sell my V8. Screw the petrol prices, there's no price I can put on my right foot gently tapping the go pedal ever so slightly and the car wanting to go!!

I hoping fuel prices hammer the resale on V8 ghias even lower.
Nobody was buying them anyway so further increase should keep buyers further away. An BF looks like a good model for a Ghia. Although the prices could reduce the number of V8 Ghias in circulation so it proberly works out even stevens. Its a much muchness really. People will blow big money on a BMW or merc badge, but when it comes to paying a extra $1000 a year for fuel they fit. |

I worry more about the cost of tyres than fuel.
