There is talk now of an impending diesel shortage, if that happens, the infant formula shortage was only the beginning, the canary in the coal mine so to speak. I'm worried about our country, whether we can survive another 2+ years of ineptitude.

Again politics is not a subject for the site. It's specifically mentioned in the site rules. People are only going to argue.

 

Gas price listing are fine without all the political comment.

 

Blatant Political comments continue then thread is gone.

I use the Gas Buddy Application and since I try not to get below half a tank this gives me some real flexibility in how far I go for it. Trip planning and all. Within a 25 mile radius of home there are at least 50 stations the spread is HUGE. 50 to 75 cents a gallon on E-10 and over a $2 spread on E-85! $30 a tank!!

 

Interesting side note; on local station that is about 20 cents over the median is also a 'full service' station. Yea, guy pumps your gas, checks your oil, does the windows..... A real throw back. Now if he would just wear a bowtie and cap 😉

Over $5.00 a gallon in the Seattle area.

 

Still almost 30% cheaper than 2 hours to the north (factoring in the exchange rate.)

Yes, and we're even higher priced than MB!   I've parked my truck off to the side in a way that is not convenient.  My wife's little 4cyl Toyota is front and centre to take care of those incidental and regular needs.  If the weather remembered that winter is over, I'd be putting more miles on my trike!

89 Octane $6.29 no-name brand in Sunol, Ca.

a Shell near it is $7.19 for 89 Octane.

FYI for the people that don't know, California does a minimum octane and a lot of other states do average octane.

Paid $2.79 a gallon for E85 like 2 weeks ago and paid $4.04 yesterday for 88 octane to fill up the car.

in 2 weeks the price of 87 octane went from 3.99 to $4.69 here in Eastern Mass. if the price goes up 1 cent nationwide the oil companies make millions of $ more every day so it seems like somewhere someones getting  VERY rich

E85.  My truck is tuned with flex fuel added, 93 or E85 in my case.  E85 is only 10 cents cheaper than 87, $4.59 vs $4.69.  I'm in NY.  I took a screenshot back when the pandemic hit, was like $45 bucks for 24 gallons of E85.  That same amount cost me $102 the other day.

Around here E85 or really any added "E" is hit and miss on where the prices will be.

 

In town the 88 octane will be only 5 cents cheaper than 87 and E85 is only 30 cents cheaper. But if I drive a few miles away or even half way across the twin cities a different station will be 25 cents cheaper for 88 octane and E85 will be over a $1 less a gallon. It's easy to spot the stations that try to rake in the profits on E15 or E85 fuels. It's been this way for years too, even before all these world wide and local issues happened. I will gladly drive an extra 10 minutes to save $20 or more when I fill my truck with E85.

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.

    • I just purchased a 2004 Tahoe with 148,******. I used to have a 2006 Suburban that had the push button Auto 4X, 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. When checking out this truck I noticed it had push button but didn’t focus on it. After the purchase when driving home, this is when I noticed it was different and after a little research found out it has the AWD stabilitrak system. I don’t live in an area that requires AWD. I bought the truck to start a new adventure in life with off roading, now that the kids are all grown up. I purchased the truck knowing it didn’t have the G80 rearend but plan on re-gearing to drive on 33s or 35s and upgrade with a rear locker and still be able to tow when needed. Blah Blah Blah Anyway I know am thinking about converting the stabilitrak  to Z71. I know I will have to replace the transfer case. So now the information gathering stage is happening to see if it is worth it. Is the front AWD stabilitrak differential different when compared to a non-AWD front diff? Will I need a completely different front differential or can it be converted? What else should I be considering? I did see something in a video for GMT900 platform with removing the ABS fuse that disables the stabilitrak and turns the truck into a 2 wheel drive. Would that work in the GMT800 platform?
