i saw a station that had fuel for 4.20/gal. i am getting started on some mods, foil delete(done) 6637 be here on friday, and ww soon to follow, though there wont be much fooling around at 4-5 $ a gal.

 

its bull****. when i first bought my truck I was able to fill my truck for 90$, now its up to about 140$ and getting worse. I hope one day it goes down, but it aint lookin good.....

Mods are fun, but addictive.......i just wanted a good chip, but then I wanted intake then an exhaust then a turbo swap, then a fuel system, now a........

 

Makes me wanna walk sometimes.

 

Hah. When I first bought my truck, diesel was cheaper than gas. It was just under a dollar a gallon. Think that one over. Now I don't go anywhere I don't have to and maximize any trips I make stopping everywhere and getting every thing.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I choose not to give my hard earned $$$ to those greedy SOBs whenever I don't have to. This is a case of too much is not enough. I am not going to help them.

 

I got fortunate a few months ago, my buddy had some POS car, that would not run, it would only run for a small time then the battery would die with a new battery/alternator, and battery cable. He told me to come get it, he just wanted it gone. So i picked it up for free, and came home, cleaned every battery connection, and ground I could find, and it worked and ran good. Its a 93 Pontiac Bonneville lol, its get 20MPG, which is better than my truck, and it uses cheap gas. My truck is now a weekend warrior, or when ever I just want to drive it now. The best part is, now if I want to do something to it, I can take my time, instead of trying to get it done over a weekend, or real fast. Hopefully it comes back down.

 

get a bike!! i got a hyusung 250 and i get 60 mpg romping around everywere i go... i can get 70 mpg if i want!!! the truck is also becomming my weekend worrier to me... although i just paid 3.07 a gallon!!!! ya thats right... ''its going for 4.15here'' in the bay area.... guess they made a mistake at the pump so i decided to fill my whole truck.. it was funny, every diesel guy at the station just looked at me like i know what your doing here and gave me a nod.. even old men with diesels gave the nod... i would usually feel bad but wtf... were getting raped by these oil people!!! and im tired of it... the whole reason to me for a diesel was better mpg and cheaper fuel!! oh well... time to sell my rockcrawler and trailer to get some money!!!

 

Yesterday on my lunch break I zipped across the street to get $50 more of diesel at the "bargain" price of $3.99 a gallon since the station I bought $30 worth at $3.99 that morning had gone up to $4.13 in an hour's time. This is getting flat f'ing rediculous.

 

Well last year was $3.00 a gallon, this year they said by summer we'll probably be paying 4.00 a gallon. It,s already 4.00 and we are not into summer yet. Whats next 5.00 a gallon next year. The oil companies seen we will pay these prices why not keep on going.Why is it when oil goes up, the price jumps 5 to 12 cents but when oil goes down it only drops a couple pennies. What a crime.

 

Where in the Bay area are you filling up its 3.99 here in alamo

 

Its not even fun to talk about anymore.

 

No, it isn't is it? It is a sad testimony to the state of our country today. There are several reasons for this, but our economy is now a victim of the global economy and NAFTA. I think our biggest problem now is the decline of the dollar. Hey, let's send more money to China.

 

its in cotati right before santa rosa... im surprised they didnt catch on to it before... the first buddie went there early morning... then i got a call after work at about 4:30-5 at pepboys... i droped everything and drove my yoda home as fast as i could to get my ps and go to fill up

 

i am just wondering how soon were gonna go into another depression because the way everything is going it is going to happen.... i hate cali... way way to expensive.. for the people working at 8 bux an hour ''minimum wage'' gets you 1200 before taxes 40 hrs a week for a month.. after taxes im guessing.... 800 bux.... you cant even get an apartment for that here..... all i see in the future is bad bad.... but what keeps me goin is how much i love my 7.3!!!!

 

I just heard there are tons of jobs in mexico, what does that tell ya. Every one wants to live in the good old 'free?' USA
