With gas prices reaching ALL-TIME highs and yet another raise of the prices to a national average of about $3.40 over this weekend, you may wonder why and how some people ride around in gas guzzlers. Well, simply put, they can not only afford the car payment but they can actually afford to drive them (afford the gas).
Next time you see kids looking out of the window at an SUV barreling down the highway going about 90mph, just imaging him or her saying “daddy, they are rich”. You ask why the kid would say something like this? Well, if you can drive that fast in an SUV then you must have a good cash flow to pay for the $4-a-gallon gas that you are burning up ever-so-fast.
Here is a list of CARS to stay away from (for now while gas prices are high) because of the horrendous amount of gasoline that it consumes. But then-again, if you can afford some of these cars then you probably are not too worried about the price of gas YET.

Right. Like the owners of these cars are worried about gas prices. Heck, most of the owners are probably in some way associated with the gas and oil industry.
How about a list of gas guzzlers for the mere mortals of the world?

Excellent point Anthony! Maybe we should post something for more common vehicles.
I will make that happen soon just for you!

What about the Ford GT? I heard it gets 4mpg. And the Lancer Evo FQ400 is also known to get 4mpg, at least when it’s driven hard.
