Gas price rant

IT cost me $50 to fill my caviler up tonight. thats nuts!


NEW thought maybe they are making gas so high so we cant drive are old truck's and car's any more!


I seen a car that was sticking it to it to day though

a mid 50s belair with a 502 BB that gets 30mpg how? Six speed tranny.


So now I must give up low power to get mpg ( see my other thread)

Good Lord...how big is your gas tank on the Cavalier?

My Escort is still in the low $30's to fill.

...and as my girlyfriend as adopted my Focus, I'm filling the Escort a lot more.

Try $80 to fill up my diesel, makes me put more miles on the 77.
Finally got the "other"79 1/2 ton 4by running last night. Love those open headers!!

My girlyfriend drives a Expedition, but its pretty good on gas.

Bio may be the way to go?

Holy cow...I filled my truck some time ago...frankly, I don't remember when...it's sitting at a friends house with a full tank for whatever day I need it...but unless I really NEED the truck for something, it's gonna sit for a while.

I don't know how to spell sta-bil either...

I fire up the truck every week or two...we took it to pick up a stove for my girlyfriend a month or so ago...maybe I'll take it out for a ride on Wednesday.

At $3.50 a gallon, I don't really want to drive the thing to work. (40 mile commute...)

You should see the gas prices now in 2022.

It’s not even funny. Between $4 and $5 a gallon non ethanol 93 octane at Bucee’s in Leeds, AL.
