My daily driver is a 5.0 F150 4x4. Found gas at $3.72 at Costco yesterday (everywhere else around is at least $3.99). 29.5 gallons was $115. But it's still cheaper than driving and filling the Excursion.

I take the Ex on a spring trip every year and burn about $500 in gas. Looks like it's going to be double that this year.....

Most in the RV business have been waiting for the market to reset due to Covid being almost over and the non real campers will get tired of the payments and cost of fuel. These issues may bring that on a year or 2 early. Soon should be some great deals on RVs for sale for a lot less than last year. When they figure out this chip issue on trucks and high diesel fuel might reset the cost of these big trucks too. Insane that they are getting some of these prices.

You're right they were giving those RVs away, no actually they would pay you to take it off their hands. As for camping our family went to our favorite spot in the desert South West in 2020 only to blown be away by the crowds.

Gas prices up again today in British Columbia Canada

Just hit 2.00$ per liter , that is roughly 8.00$ per gallon in Canadian dollars ( 2 hours north of Seattle Washington)

Comes out to be $6.20 USD per gallon

Never seen these numbers in my life

Closed for cleanup.

EDIT: Open for GAS PRICES business. Politics and slogans removed.

No one is happy with gas prices.

Well, all you have to do is link the "by state" site for this topic then.

We were just stating why its happening. Evil begets evil....

South Florida diesel price hit $4.99 yesterday. Not a fluke high price at certain stations, but at all stations.

Can we get some explicit clarification on what can't be said? I just read the Site Guidelines, but I can't seem to locate the "Politics and slogans" rule. I don't disagree that it can be a little much from time to time, but that's what the unsub button is for.
Exactly 23 months ago to the day in my town. $1.19

Early winter I bought an 05 Honda Element. The excursion will only be used when towing the camper, or when absolutely necessary till things settle down.

The price in North Florida has been 4.99 for about a week now. Expecting $5.99 by the end of the month.

We weren’t getting nasty, there are clearly people still supporting the cause of this and believe it has something to do with a war. The war began long ago. Get out and vote these “bad fuel prices” out.
