Gas price going up // Rethinking the new project car

I would do whatever grocery fetching and commuting I had to do, in some reliable economy car..... and build the Mopar I WANT, and drive it when I wanted and when I could afford to feed it. I would not build some compromised half-wanted mess, to try to get a few more mpg..... that's what a prius is for.
But to be fair.... some may WANT to drive their mopar, don't care about 60 ft times or 1/4 mile times, and want fuel mileage. I have cars that I like to drive and how "fast" they are is not much of a concern to me. I think the OP is on this page also...
