Read something yesterday that said something like, "driving at 85mph uses 30% more fuel than going 70mph". Guess I need to slow down.

55mph speed limit is coming back?
80% of the idiots on the road shouldn't be driving over 60.
Make a skid car course mandatory for a driving test. If you don't pass, you get a 3cyl Yugo

I like this one better since it shows the dips associated with gear ratios. Attachment 420752

It is Sheetz, but not sure if they have all of their other 5 states they operate stations in also set up or not, Corporate is PA based and majority of their locations are PA, but they operate in other states also.Quote:

Yeah that’s great. A 500# person that lost 50# is still fat.

As first reported by The Drive, a decentralized group called the Tyre Extinguishers (the spelling hints at the group's U.K. origins) is promoting the idea of deflating the tires of as many SUVs as possible to help make it "impossible to own a huge polluting 4x4 in the world's urban areas." By deflating enough tires on these "massive, unnecessary vehicles," the group hopes to cause enough "inconvenience and expense for their owners" that people just stop driving big vehicles in crowded areas.

I always have Grumpies diesel you toobes on my FB even tho I no longer run a ford or a diesel, he did a thing on how the only way to get better milage/ save money was to slow down

do you have any idea why the price of fuel at the pump has not much to do with the price of a barrel of oil ?Quote:

so then you do know that it can all be splained by lookin it up with google
but when you ask it like that you sound like bob in the lunch room doing his daily rant
If you were paying attention to any of my 290000+ posts you would know I have never worked on a copier in my life, copiers sucked to work on/ be responsible for
this could apply to so very many summertime posts on here. And i don't even mean that in a negative way.Quote:

It's greed, plain and simple.
Oil Co's and refineries can see the writing on the wall...make bank now...
Very fortunate to live along the Oregon border.
Washington has the highest prices in the nation but I can drive 3 miles and buy it in Oregon for $2 less/gal. That adds up when I'm filling the trucks.
they still fill it for you in Oregon?Quote:

We were paying $2.14 a litre for marine (marked, premium) gas during our fishing trip this year. No road tax on that.
Been around $1.75/L the past few months in town. Biggest suck is that normal premium now contains up to 10% ethanol. Have to drive 45min to Bridge Lk (the nearest marked/marine gas outlet that isn’t an account/cardlock) so I can keep my gennies and 2-stokes purring smooth.
You must be able to get marked gas for farming KQ? Saved Dad thousands per year on diesel for his farm truck and tractor before he gave up farm status. Or does that work differently down there for non-hwy taxed fuel?
Our cars need premium, so usually around $5 a gallon in San Diego. I don't really bat an eyelash anymore. They broke me in to higher prices on everything. Life is likely at least $10k more a year than it was 5 years ago.Quote:
