V6 in my SS?
For the love of God, NOOOOOOO!!!!! 
Seriously, are they that bad? I've been gone for the past six months and the last price I remember was $2.05 for 93 octane (that was the highest)

have your cake and eat it to Did a post on the LS7 section not much info yet but the new trucks are coming out with Dispalcement on Demand. Wait six months or a year and these computers, engines and harness's will start showing up on Ebay and in the wrecking yards. You could build a head and cam Ls2 motor or better yet a low compression 9.4 stroker 402 and run it on 87 octane. From what I hear you cruise around on six cylinders and when the power is needed you run on 8 cylinders would be alot easier swap just need a computer and some additional senors. Give speartech, lingerfelter and some off the others sponsers a little time and I think they will be a be able to design aftermarket cams and develop swap harnesses to do this. Just my 2 cents worth what do you guys think?

Well, really and truly...
I've seen window stickers for both an 02 WS6 and an 02 Honda Accord V6. The WS6 sticker showed better gas mileage. The only real problem I have that kills mine is the heavy@$$ right shoe I wear when driving.

I just have a few points to make here on the whole gas price ordeal. First being this, how much more are you seriously spending if gas goes up 20 cents, or 30 cents a gallon? In all honesty, if your budget is that tight, take away one of your stops at McDonalds for the week and you'll break even. Secondly, if you bought your LS1 or LT1 for that matter, and when you bought it, gas mileage was on your mind.... time to get you a civic and rid yourself of your performace vehicle.

i am gonna cry!!!!!
prices in the states are nothing, they have been sky high in europe and likewise for years. also for everyone complaining, get a credit card that rewards in gas cards. my BP card on average gets me 25-35 dollars in free gas per month. usual BP cc bill is $1500, but hey its free gas.
