- the grey-t escape
I took the cap off & went back to my 225/70 tires (from the 235/75’s) in attempt to get at least a couple more mpg’s better in my ranger, yesterday we filled up the escape and the 5-gallon can for mowing & the total came to $75. Ive never spent that much on fuel at one time. (besides that time 2 years ago when prices were way down & I spent $120 filling a 55 gallon drum that lasted me a year & a half). Glad I didnt get that V8 1/2 ton Id been thinking about, I may have to park the ranger as my d.d. and get the car back out to commute. Dont want to but gotta do what you gotta do when things get tight, Brens hours arent as much lately with parts shortages at her work, yet the mortgage & other bills are still as much.
