Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

I just checked and premium can be had for about $5.10 down in Bishop today. By time I drive down to get the wife and pups it will likely be $6 on the 18th. Lucky I average 26mpg on the highway, but that 1200 mile road trip down to Coronado, back up to Mammoth and then back home at months end will cost me. O well, what is money for but to spend it?

I agree with your analysis. I've met people who are full-blown morons and say they fill their tanks with Premium because "it's the best gas", even though they only need regular. Originally Posted by rideit

Someone got a promotion for suggesting this, I’m sure.
(This is my theory, and I’m sticking with it!. )

Fuel Prices.
So I did some research after I posted this…. The Mendocino Chevron (where I unfortunately filled up) is in competition for most expensive gas station in the USA with the Gorda (Big Sur) Chevron. Originally Posted by nickwm21

I'm starting to feel like I chose the wrong time to do a 4k mile road trip. 12mpg all day yesterday and forgot to fill up before leaving MT for Canada.

Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

My parents are supposed to drive to Alaska this summer…. 12-18 mpg diesel when towing their camper. Wonder if they will still do it.

It’s been equivalent to $7-8 / gal for so long in so many places I’ve traveled, I always felt anything under $4 here was a bargain.
Is the diesel truck market heating up even more now as a result? Friend’s 4WD F250 is getting 24-25 mpg…

My Tundra gets mid 13s driving around VT. I still prefer it over anything else in my driveway. Originally Posted by MontuckyFried

We all average the same mileage.
the last work truck we bought last year was a 2022 single cab and chasis with the 10 speed and a powerstroke. It gets 12mpg. And WITHOUT a bed for a XL truck it was over 60k.
and diesel is anywhere from 4.59-5.39 here in VT.

I bought this Genuine Roughhouse a little over 2 years ago. The rationale for the purchase was my high school senior having his first job 3 miles away but a decent car was too expensive. He's got a car now but I kept it. It will go 45 mph on flat ground and gets over 100 MPG. I'm now using it quite a bit now..

SoVT, I was in a zoom meeting when I typed that…I was actually thinking about my buddy with a ram eco diesel 4x4 crew cab. My friend with the newish f250 extended cab, topper on the back and not much payload, averages 17 or 18 in mixed driving but sometimes breaks into the low 20s on our road trips.
Pretty much lines up with data on fuelly.com if you look at upper 20th percentile. Fuelly is a stupid website that doesn’t take into account trailer towing etc but hey better than nothing.
It’s kinda crazy what mpg modern diesels and transmissions are getting when relatively unloaded in mellow highway driving. Depending on who is driving them of course.

But then again, my 97 7.3 F250 with 4.10s would average 16-17. I know modern diesels have twice the MPG and Torque though. Originally Posted by frorider

There has to be a lot of GOTOS folks reconsidering the impact of aerodynamic drag.
Or they have so much disposable money to spend on accessories that this doesn’t really impact them.
