I made that mistake. Filled up at that time on the NJ turnpike on a trip. Nearly empty. Gas was 4.25 gal. ouch. about $175.

You know you drive a Excursion when you cry at the gas pump when the Arabs and wall street raise the prices just to gouge you.

 

Almost $230 dollars to fill up when diesel topped $5.10 per gallon.

Put in just a hair over 45 gallons.

.......when you look at your mpg display and watch it go down each time you step on the gas.

 

Damn! I remember that...

You know you drive an Excursion when diesel prices are that high and people around you stare and try to guess how much it takes to fill up...

 

FYI

Last month I went on a 2500 mile trip in the northwest from the San Francisco peninsula into Nevada, to Montana, to Washington, Oregon, and home.

Most of the time I paid 2.80 to 2.90 a gallon. Here at home it is running 3.20 to 3.25. And going up.

You know you drive and psd excursion when you know you are getting good miledge - but still have to wipe the tears from your eyes when you "Fill 'er up".

 

When you go to the full service pump and leave the engine running and the attendant starts to fill your tank, walk over to you and ask you to shut it off because he can't keep up.

 

you know you're driving an Excursion when you pay the gas station attendants full days wage with one fill up.

 

I usually leave mine idling and had many service attendants/other filler-uppers ask me to shut her off, but not for that reason.

 

Isn't there a federal law against filling up a car with the engine running? I swear I remember seeing stickers at the pumps that said something to that effect...

 

You have no problem driving in the express lane because as soon as a driver sees you coming up, they move over

 

I've seen the stickers, but I figure if the cops around here do it too, they're not going to say anything.

 

Don't tell anyone but I also ripped the tags off my pillows :-)

 

I think I'm gonna have to make a citizens arrest.

 

When the old guy at the gas station asks you if your truck is fuel injected or carbureted and you reply with “Neither it has a toilet bowl, I gotta flush it to go”.

 

..... everytime your Brother in Law rides with you he always says" You can put a circus in this thing" !
