Default Who isn't going to DDay 7?

I'm having second thoughts of not going now.

Distance from Largo, FL to Ocala, FL is approx. 120 miles
MPG on my 240 is about 25 mpg hwy with A/C.
It will go use approx. 5 gallons
Times two for the trip back......that's 10 gallons.
Price of gas of regular is approx. $3.00 x 10 gallons = $30 of fuel.

I rather buy a pair of AE jeans at tyrone mall. I might not go. Anyways, who cares of i go or not, right?

AE jeans are more than $30.

I'm not going. Too hot. Plus the wife will give me a bunch of crap. Plus I have a billion things to get done this weekend.

you guys are so weak! gas cost is nothing compared to having a blast drifting at the event! the real drifters, the real fans of it, will be there.

the fanboys won't.

I'll surely take the trip if my car fuels off of paper money and nickels and dimes, but it doesnt, I'm at the point of saying no go.
I dont want to take the chance of running around looking for a place to fuel in a dead town.

yeah but like i said, the fact that 2 gas stations near where i am is out. They dont know when the next shipment will arrive.
I'm just not confident enough about other gas stations.
