I have a 4xe and my Chevron stock is kicking ass!

Seriously, though, crude oil is about $2.40-$2.50 per gallon so it's pretty ugly.

My wife and I are planning on driving down to Jeep Beach from Mass this yearā€¦ heck itā€™s in like 58 days. We have been talking about not making the trip due to gas prices.
Covid restrictions are easing up but with gas prices who wants to go anywhereā€¦

Gas prices shouldnā€™t keep you from having fun, for most of us itā€™s still a relatively small amount of the budget. Maybe take some back roads and keep it at 55-60. Half the fun is getting there.

The forecast is diesel will be above $5 by end of month on average; and 87 around the same. 93 octane likely $6 or so.

In Canada they have similar; they just hit a new record for fuel prices.

Not going to get better for awhile. I am not looking forward to RV season - the 7.3L gets 13mpg and 100 gallon tank.... A $500 fill up????
Just hit 1.85L for my 2.0 in Alberta. We refine it and still get jacked

If I didnā€™t have two newer gas guzzlers Iā€™d be excited. Remember the used truck prices in 08-09?

Figure my Ramā€™s about to be worth half what it is now by end of the year. But maybe I can add a cheap Power Wgaon to the fleet.

My rig sits in the garage all week long until my club decides to do a trail. My around town car is my 2014 Ford Focus BEV (full electric) that I charge from my solar panel array. While I only get 70 miles from a full charge, it's plenty of range to take care of daily errands around town and a full charge takes less than 3 hours to accomplish.

If you own a boat, you will feel these increases and it will impact many peoples ability to ā€œhave funā€. Same if you own a 7 mpg RV or tow a big trailer.

And wait until these fuel price increases funnel through to all of our food costs. Give it a couple of weeks. Itā€™s going to get uglier:mad:

Damn, I didnā€™t think about the boat. You guys are depressing me now.

We had one station that had diesel yesterday for $3.99 and this morning that same station was at $4.48. Crazy!

Ya gotta wonder how they justify that since most of the fuel in their storage tanks has been there for a week or better.

We have a class c motorhome with a v10 that gets 9mpg on a good day. Not looking forward to a summer of high gas prices at all.

It is totally a rip. The war in Ukraine is a nice excuse, but the ones in power want us to electrify. We were energy independent not long ago, not so today. Just another shot to push that agenda. Time to stop being ā€œwokeā€ and become ā€œawakeā€. End of rant-please dont lock the thread, Iā€™m shutting upšŸ˜
Either shut yourself up or be censored by the thread being shut down! Excellent Choice!! :angry:
