Yeah, In confusing the top wepons exporter with the top export.

 

Nope, not by a long shot.

You are correct. Value wise petroleum products is the highest valued US Export; or was anyhow, not sure now. Unrefined crude was on down the list a little bit though. Never really understood why petroleum products was our most valuable export yet it is our highest import as well? Guess that is why I am not in Washington.

 

Edit: Went and looked after SnakeEyes comments above. Depends on what source you look at. Airplanes, Cars and Automobile parts are up there on exports also.

I just filled up at a Shell that has 87 at $1.69. Although 91 is still at $2.11. So I filled up with 19 gallons of 89 for $37! Good times...

Costco down to 1.37 for 87 and 1.62 for 92 octane. It's nice to fill the truck for under $40 again.

The low prices are great, but it definitely hasn't helped my job situation out. We've been slow for over a year now, with a large layoff last year, but it hasn't picked up at all. I've been there almost 10 years, and i was laid off last week. The older employees there said they've never seen it this bad.

Don't expect too many "sorry to hear that". And that is because too many people only see that they're saving on gas money so why would they care about a / your job....This is sad!!

 

Too many are too blind to see the consequences in the long run.

 

Looking at Alberta ... I'm glad to not be in their shoes... first they made big bucks, lived the crazy life like there is no tomorrow and today their once expensive houses bite them in the ass. No one wants to buy them because no one wants to live where workers have been laid off for months, now they're stuck with their families....but hey I get my tank fuel for a buck/litre right?

 

Daryl, I hope you & your family get through this the best you can - best wishes!!

I'm sorry to hear that Daryl!

 

 

I filled up with 20 gallons of Shell 91 for $38 on Saturday, pretty surreal. And if I didn't have to drive out to Tempe every weekend that tank might even last me a month or more! Right now I'm filling up every two weeks or so.

 

My commute is now 10 miles round trip and I only use the truck a few time's per week.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
