I drive about 28 round trip. But thats excluding all my other weekly running around.

It doesnt even do that bad on gas for what is...i average 14-15.

My vic and B2 both get 20 or a bit better...its kinda funny how 5mpg more can make such a difference.

I have yet to get any solid numbers in fuel economy for my truck since it's still being restored to good, but I have to say that the Gas Light Dread hit me this morning like, well, a truck. Thank God my wife and I collectively make barely enough as it is.

We were at $3.89 a couple days ago, who knows now.
I worked at a service station during the Arab oil embargo and we were forbidden by law to raise our price unless we got a new delivery at a higher price. Now the price on gas that's already in the station's tank goes up if the stock market gets nervous. I don't believe a drop of gas that we're buying now was refined since the war broke out. We're being overcharged now because someone thinks it's going to cost more later.

In the news yesterday they explained that the last ships that left the straight before the war broke out are arriving to their destinations this week.

That makes sense to me because most sea freight shipments from Europe to the US take 4-5 weeks from port to port.

We can all be happy that we dont live in Norway or wherever.. I guess they're paying the equivalent of over $10US a gallon right now other smaller nations have been rationing fuel for a month or so already and are still projected to run out completely within the next few weeks.. Thailand mabey? I heard Australia is in baaad shape too concerning total supply as well


Could always be worse..

i don't worry about gas prices. my truck is tuned so i have to run a minimum of 91 and normally 93. i stopped worrying since i cannot do anything about it.

Precicely lol.

This is why I'm getting bummed out lol. Be the end of the year my powertrain warrantee will be expired... And I was heavily considering getting a tune slapped on er (not Ford's, the 2.3 bronco ECUs were FINALLY cracked for aftermarket tuners to do their thing this past December.. much more bang per buck.. Ford's way too conservative)

That ain't happening now though lol.
