Default POLL: Will higher gas prices cause you to curb your mods?

With the extra $$$ going into the tank, is is making you think twice about spending cash on your car?

I know my gas bill has gone up and caused me to bad a few mod's I had planned.

Anyone else?

Default probably not, but that could depend on how high prices go.

If we see premium at $5/gal then likely yes I'd have to slow my saving for mods, and divert some $ to gas $.

then again if it goes too high, then I might need to downsize to an A4, which in turn would then require more mods...

Default I may start taking my Rodeo more often, as I planned for the A4 to not be the

daily driver. HAHAHAHAHA

That lasted about a week and not having the POW-WA, was killing me.

So I will suck it up and fork over the $$ for my happiness and drive the A4.

No, the amount of cash I have will cause me to curb my mods. The cost of gas is relatively small.
