My T1 Silverado gets about 14mpg city and that's the highest I've had in the past 15 years.  Some of that has to do with the vehicle being heavy and some of it with my right foot being heavy.

My Avalanche gets about 15. My 92 less than that. I drive them more now.

The problem begins when people start driving again. Refineries are going to be shutting down here soon I read. Just have no room to store gas. So I believe there will be a supply issue initially sending prices higher like around $4 a gallon or more until refineries can get back online. Enjoy it now. Oh wait. Can’t nothing is open.

I'll bet darn few will learn what power the consumer has on gas prices from all this. A fully functioning economy could drive half the miles it did before this at the drop of a hat and push back. Thing is it's hard to find enough people to agree to do it at the same time. So you have a hammer. Just not the will to swing it. :)

I paid $3.53 for 91 on Edwards AFB on Sunday.  Fixing to fill up tonight, after work.  They try to match the FasTrip in Rosamond, who's usually the cheapest in Rosamond and in the Antelope Valley.

 

$3.33 - 87

$3.43 - 89

 

On April 2, I filled up my truck, and on Wednesday, I filled up my wife's MB GLC 300.

4/2      OCT    4/15

$2.79 - 91 - $2.59

$2.69 - 89 - $2.49

$2.59 - 87 - $2.39

Thank God for Gov. Gordon

 

No shelter in place here in Wyoming, so my highway trips can continue.

 

FWIW, I like to drive the state highways of Wyoming, to see the sights. Social distancing at its finest.

 

Gas is $1.64 a gallon here for regular. With Dad's gas discount, it's 19 cents a gallon for regular, and 64 cents for high test. Clyde and I are both happy happy campers

$1.15 earlier. It's like being a teen again.

I wish it made me feel like a teen again, when I was a teen gas was .25 - .30 a gallon,  my first car was a 68 Chevelle and premium was .38 a gallon ?

I know some people it will feel like 20-30 years ago. After they lose everything and live in a trailer park. I bet there’s 26 million people thinking that now.

We are under a shelter in place or whatever here, and I do not care. We haven't shopped groceries in a month and come into contact with no one. Where I go is no one's business, and all citizens have a right travel at their discretion. Besides, I have to keep the battery topped off!

 

Rusty averaged 16mpg on the last tank, which is pretty good for blowing the cobwebs out type driving. The prices haven't fallen here as quickly as other places it would seem.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
