Gasoline Alley


Depending on the gas station you pass here, it's either $3.99 to $4.09 a gallon now. The low was $3.89 before things started creeping back up.
 
$3.02 here now...let's see how long it lasts
 
Still floating around $3.999 here. I may dip for a day or two but goes back up not long after.
 
$4.59 for 93 here.
Under a $100 for fill the tank. woooo……
 
3.30-ish for 97 , diesel is still about 4.99
 
Down to 3.49 at the place I go to.
 
3.04 at BJ's wholesale this morning

I would only trust the info in your vehicle's orignal owner's manual compared to whatever woke propaganda the vehicle manufacturer says now about fuel requirements, especially for the older ones. All the 80s owners manuals I remember reading said Gasohol blends over 10% ( IIRC ) are not to be used.

I lost around 2 MPGs when California switched from E6 to E10 15 years ago and 3-4 MPGs 20+ years ago when they switched from MTBE to E6. That was in an 1987 Honda CRX 1.5 DX with an 1985 HF cylinder head, 1985 HF transmission, taller 165-80-13" tires on 1986-7 HF alloy rims, full SMOG delete, headers and some mild tuning. I was getting just under 50 MPGs on the highway with the AC off and 48 MPG with the AC on, at normal 75 MPH freeway speeds. On 55 MPH highways I could get high 60s MPGs with the AC off.

I got back around 2 MPG when I swapped an 1986 HF head with the roller cam and a taller final drive when I built my wagon/HF transmission. I lost around 1 MPG when I added a 1985 SI rear hatch with the duck bill rear spoiler and rear wiper. This was my actual mileage figures that I kept in a log book, updated every fill up by doing the math, not guessing.

The non Si 1st gen CRXs use a CVCC ( compound vortex controlled combustion ) stratified charge lean burn engine, which is basically a Diesel engine that runs on gasoline. The main combustion chamber is fed a very lean mixture that a spark plug can't ignite. A small pre chamber is fed a very rich mixture that when the spark plug fires, the flame shoots out some holes into the main chamber and ignites the lean mixture.

10% Gasohol in my part Florida has been below $3 for a week now.
 
How quick does e85 ruin fuel lines and crap?

Lately I've been considering running e85 in my wagon rather than needing to shell out 12+$ a gallon for race gas.
 
Buckle in...here we go again. Up 40 cents in the past week.
 
Yeah... we are closer to $4 a gallon then we are $3.50.
 
they have to do something to take the people's attention off the president's son and why coke was in the white house
 
We've been floating around the $4.40-4.60 area for months on my commute, some areas have been as low as $3.99 but not many... At least in Oregon we can pump our own now, no more useless lines waiting for the 3 attendants to man 15 or so pumps... Now New Jerkey is the only odd one out :)

ahhhh - yup. Maybe he meant to put it in his gas tank for a better burn rate and hotter flame and simply forgot to do that?
 
I have a hard time believing that the Whitehouse has at any time since the days of Jose Escobar been free of any nose candy..
