Fight the gas prices

[Ashock]

How fast do you need to go? An average of 120 mph?

If you don't need more than 80-100 mph then most of the small ones will be good enough, the horsepower they have is more than adequate for their weight and size. While they won't hit 80 in 5 seconds, they won't take you much longer to get where you need/want to go, as long as you only need speeds in, or close to, their range.

When your commute to work is 20 min, you can put up with some discomfort for the sake of saving some money on gas. When your commute is 1.5-2 hours each way, it becomes an issue. I realize that in some European countries a 2 hour drive takes you half way across the country, but in the US this is pretty common. On an everyday basis, driving for 3-4 hours total in a coffin on wheels is not really an option.
