Re: 2009 Dodge Challenger Pricing!
Its very easy for people who live in San Francisco to preach to the rest of the country. If you live and work in the city, they have exceptional public transportation. Of course, the amenities of San Francisco come at a price - some of the most expensive if not the most expensive housing in the nation along with taxes that are nothing short of oppressive.
If people consider my driving a 425 HP Challenger "inconsiderate",,, my response is simple,,, it is a matter of choice. I chose to buy a home with a 14 mile round trip to the office and my utility bills are about 33% lower since my 2400 square foot home is 1200 square feet smaller because I chose not to drive 50-70 miles round trip to work.
Yes, at $4.00 per gallon, a 15 MPG car costs 26.67 cents per mile vs a 35 MPG car costing 11.43 cents per mile. However, because of my 14 mile round trip commute, a 15 MPG car consumes 1 gallon of gas day vs a 35 MPG car burning 1.43 to 2 gallons per day on their 50-70 mile per day commute.
It is easy for the "green" people to preach to others, but people should look in the mirror first and determine how "green" they really are.
