Back in 1971 and again in 1978 (I think) we in the US had big gas shortages, which were artificial, and the value of muscle cars and exotics dropped because of gas prices. Today at auction American muscle cars that are pristine is unbelievalbly high. People who can shell out $100k or more for a hemi cuda aren't too concerned about shelling out a few bucks more per month. That said, a 911 commuter won't gain in value due to the mileage. I drive 22 miles to work, and as gavinlit said an extra $10 a week isn't going to deter me too much. Don't know if I added anything of value to this thread or not.
