I even reset it like I did when I left Miami and headed back south, and it started in the lower 9's, and as I got back down into Fl, it had slowly dropped back into the mid 7's.

On sale right now, the $489 is a lie, they are usually 399, so its 20 bucks off atm, not 100+ but this is where i scored mine from.

Can also get it directly from Accufabs site, but i think its 399 there.

Ignore the notes that say manifold modifications, stuff needing to be ground down, etc, those notes do not apply in any way to the V10s, its bolt on direct, no jacking with the manifold, etc, it fits right on.

Got 89 octane at 3.94 after using my Conoco app. You get .10 off for using the app. If you get their card and use the app you get another .15 off so it could have been
3.79. I knew everything was going to hell in a hand basket when we broke the $1.00 barrier. Oil companies shaft truckers the most with $5.00/gallon. It’s more expensive to haul cargo so you pay more at the store. As they say, whoever said life was fair?

I've got the 7.3, so freeway getting 19-20 if I'm in a semi's slipstream isn't too bad. Otherwise, around town I'm getting 15-16. It hurts to fill it up at $4.89 a gallon. I daily a 6.0 for work and put about 1000 miles a week on it. Fuel prices are killing me.....

I put about 1,100 miles on my Ex last week. The most expensive 87 octane I found was 4.69 in Palm Beach County (FL), the cheapest 3.79 in the Florida panhandle.

Seeing those slightly cheaper Mid-West prices is encouraging as we will be towing through all of the states in that region this Summer, locally here just outside Philly regular is $4.15 to $4.25. Diesel is up around $5.29 to $5.39.

I totally get that change is inevitable, but seeing that current gas prices are running $.30 to $.40 less per gallon right now gives me hope that at least that gap will continue.

I don't expect prices to fall a lot further, and certainly won't reach the lows they hit 3 years ago. The price should "bottom out" about November. Those in charge have stated their desire for expensive gasoline and the "appearance" of cheaper fuel will coincide with national elections.

Its not just fuel prices that are out of control. Its anything that has to do with crude oil and heating fuels. Shipping goods, making anything that involves crude oil or a derivative, heating fuels, any service that requires travel... its a giant "FU" to the American people. A few years ago things were very different because policies were aligned with "for the people".
