my guess (after i looked how much they were and the MPG they get)

the driver doesnt take it out too often .... the MPG is only 11-20. so in other words, it GUZZLES that gas

thats my guess as to why you dont see them right now. with prices $4.17 a gallon or more. that be a pricey car to drive PERIOD not just cuz the car itself but the p*ss poor mpg

If you own an R8, likely, gas prices dont concern you too much.

Another thing to Own is Oil Royalty trust and distribution stock...If you "park" enough money, you drive for free, and never lose any Principal...

That is how I do it..You don't even look at the price...You just fill up..

If you can afford an Audi R8 which is about 140-150k, I seriously doubt you are worried about the gas, insurance, tires, or maintenance. If you are worried about all that, then you obviously cannot afford it.

Honestly... if someone can afford that car. I think gas is the last thing that comes to their minds.
