$3.18 Northern DFW area $3.05-$3.10

Where have you looked so far?

$3.36- $3.38. The ol' fark you over for holiday driving

looks like pricing going up here. A few places including Murphy's jumped at 30 cents. About 20 cents in norther DFW

What pain meds are you on?

Still $3.01 with even more places at this price

Yeah, they are too lazy to keep em going. Plus it is an expense. I generally stay away from locations that historically have busted equipment. I kinda like my receipts. I wouldn't want recipes from most fueling stations.

Gas dispenser give out recipes? Wonder if they've got one for chocolate pie. I owned and operated a full service station in the 80's to early 90's, so yes I understand that. We started out with the mechanical counter dispensers that we had to show the price of fuel at 50% and put signs up saying you were going to owe double the shown pump price. Thos mechanical ones wouldn't allow for some of the high prices we experienced. Eventually upgraded to 1st generation of electronic dispensers. Which were still primitive compared to today

It's been around for a while. It suddenly has taken off virally on facebook. Enough people have finally posted a bunch of links like these and it's slowing down Like the guy I referenced that I wanted to immolate, he was screaming at the attendant that they were ripping everyone off. He was calling the cops and everything. Cops said they weren't coming out for what he described, but they would come out and trespass him if he didn't calm down

The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked https://youtu.be/1DtlaEuHXAA?si=06mrRmw9HLUwdeRk https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CyRZdsaSc/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DxV1Hyrqi/ SNOPES: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HPYUnRik/

$3.01 with $3.03 common most places

hate to hear you went through that. Glad things are getting better

On a separate note... anyone had the experience while filling up and another customer finds the fake "scam screw" on their pump and they freak out, screaming at the attendant? Pure BS. Still too many many gullible people out there. The guy today made me want to hose him with gasoline and set him on fire.

$3.01 at one location

with your further description, I'd be looking at all front end components. Control arm bushings can be deceiving. May look like fair condition but they're allowing play

Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it. You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

$3.11 & $3.13 at my stops

Good luck and if appropriate for you

Only thing I see in short supply are filters, thanks to Fram's parent company going ****** up. Places they relied heavily on Fram stock, shelves are bare. I think places like Wally are working negotiating pricing on other replacement brands before they fill their shelves with anything. I'm set for a good while on all filters and oil supplies

$3.29 Denton, Lewisville Tx area

My primary walk mower is a 45 year old 2 cycle Lawn-Boy. Thing is still going strong. Self propelled. Think the deck is aluminum, maybe magnesium. Either way it weighs a ton less than the steel deck mowers. I did grab another gas 4 cycle last year just because it was a great deal. Kohler engine with spin on filter. The self propel on it is not as good as my Lawn Boy. I've switched to battery line trimmer, hedge trimmer, and edger. Got a couple of battery chainsaws that are the bomb. If had a smaller yard and one that didn't sometimes get out of hand, I'd look harder at battery mower, but I know it would work for my situation
