$4.50 here
Not good for Ford F-150 sales or any other truck manufacturer. Yes the ecoboost in over 50% of current F-150's will delay the inevitable pain associated with driving but my question is who is going to start the inevitable incentive wars now that very high gas prices are here? And need I add the new Ram line out next month. High energy costs and increased competition is going to make for rough sailing in the auto world IMHO. But these conditions are usually great news for potential truck owners.

That's what I'm banking on. Holding out for large incentives on the Eco-Boost, Screw, 4x4, Lariat this summer. Also want to see what changes the MY13 bring.

3.7854 litres in a US gallon, 4.546 litres in an Imperial gallon.
$4.906 a US gallon ($1.296/L) around the corner from my office this morning. That means my truck would cost $176 to fill from empty. I wish we were still around $4.50 a gallon ($1.19/L), it hasn't been that low since last year around here.
Never mind 04XLTRUNNER who is saving a dollar a gallon compared to us ($3.89/gal is $1.03/L).

Have y'all seen what the USA's larget export was last year? It used to be airplanes, and now it's gasoline. There's plenty of oil, but our refineries are selling the gasoline to countries willing to pay "world prices" ... which we will soon be paying. It is a supply and demand thing ... while the domestic demand is low, there's greater demand elsewhere.

It's 3.63 a gallon for 87 octane here in N MS....a few cents lower in some places but not by much.
I don't drive my truck that much as I just have 6600 miles on it and will have had it a year in another month and a half.
If it goes up a lot more....I will ride my motorcycle more, when not transporting other folks or my drums to a gig.

Cheapest 87 in my neck of the woods is $3.55, but most stations on the other side of the state line in Tennessee, about 6-7 miles north of here, are about 10 cents higher a gallon.
But this is what happens when the democratically controlled countries of this world that have the resources don't utilize them, and instead allow countries run by autocrats and dictators determine our energy policy for us.
