Re: Just causing trouble....gas prices

Glad to see 'em coming down. Hope the trend continues. We're still a bit above you here in the panhandle.

Re: Just causing trouble....gas prices

$2.36. Jeez, up here in the Northeast we broke under $3 only about 10 days ago....A 30+ gallon fill-up for the '350 has been somewhat painfull.

It's been costing me ~$18 just fill the garden tractor to mow the lawn. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] Never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I'm looking forward to $2/gallon.

Unleaded is 2.19 tonight. Diesel fuel is still the same. I just passed the station a little after 9:00 p.m. and people were waiting in line to fill up their cars. The place is usually pretty slow this time of the evening.

Re: Just causing trouble....gas prices

I filled up the wife's X tonight and paid $2.86 at Costco. Isn't it amazing that we have now been programmed to be happy when any fuel costs under $3.00 a gallon? Cheapest diesel I've seen is $2.99. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Re: Just causing trouble....gas prices

Diesel here is about 20-25 cents more a gallon than gas, so gas is about 7% cheaper. My V10 F450 gets 30% less fuel economy than my Diesel F450. So it still costs me over 20% more to drive the V10. Needless to say the V10 is parked most of the time!Lloyd

But you still paid about $4500 more for the right to purchase diesel at more than $.40+ gallon more than gas. I drive the heck out of my v10!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's funny you should mention this because that's exactly how I felt when I bought my wife's new V-10 Excursion last month. I know it's a crime to say this on this site [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] "it didn't bother me one bit that all the PSD's were sold out." [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] I know someone's gonna chime in about the mileage difference between the PSD and V-10, but so far I'm not unhappy with the V-10's mileage.
