either that or buy a diesel truck and a trailer and make/run biodiesel and just trailer it everywhere.
it cost me about $40 to fill my fuel cell on the bronco (which was not empty!) and it lasted the whole weekend. i filled my stroker once on the way home (i hold 52 gallons) and it cost me $80. course i only filled one tank but still. if i was dead empty and hadnt gotten on the road yet the most it would have cost for one fill up is $150, thats $2.85/gal.
its gonna take more than hell or high water to get me to stop! and if it gets bad enough i'll just wheel at our land down in alvaton!

If you noitice that they jack the price up during the summer witha peak at labor day. everbody complains and they back off .50 or so. then the next year they climb the price a little at a time till its up past were it was last year. People will make big deal and want something done till it take them giveing something up. then they will just deal with it. I dont like it one bit but at least you can still buy it. My neighbor has a good saying "think about it, gas is the cheapest now than it will be for the rest of your life" sad but true

DRJ, there is a truck almost identical to yours running around my area, only difference visually is he's running American Racing Bajas.
Gas prices suck, I get 260-280 per tank and I fuel up every two days, that is in my '91 Toyota, thankfully I'm not driving the F-150 it was only 150 miles to a tank... College SUCKS sometimes.

The fuel price going up hasn't and won't stop us from 4 wheeling. The forestry shutting down all the good running areas on the other hand has slowed us down some.

Here's how I battle those pesky gas prices
First I pulled the Bronco in the shop for a complete make over
Then I built one of these to wheel, while the Bronco is down.
I can play all day on 3-4 gallons of fuel and will run the quad trails
Hopefully when the Bronco is finished gas prices will be a bit cheaper.
