Well, It seemed like weekday rush hour traffic on Saturday afternoon on Florida's Suncoast.  Moving to and fro there was a fair amount of traffic, made worse by the speed demons attempting to run 20+ mph over the speed limit.    

Hey now I speed over here in Orlando too, not just on your coast 😛

Not exactly on topic but maybe interesting to a few anyhow.  I had an opportunity to talk with the farmer that farms my family's ground in e. Wash. state this week. He told me even there he's heard rumblings of a diesel shortage due to additive shortages, fuel jobbers already not taking on new customers, etc. So he's stockpiled 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel, sounds like overkill but he has 3 Challenger tractors that probably use 15 gph+ each, do the math. He was terrified of not having fuel when wheat harvest rolls around, not sure how many gph his JD and iH/Case combines use but probably as much or more than the Challengers. I didn't ask him how much per gallon he paid for that diesel, but probably enough for him to be a real believer in the old saying that you can make a small fortune in farming as long as you start out with a LARGE one.

high volume Gulf station on busy Rt 1 was $4.45 this am and $4.39 this afternoon, let's hope the trend continues. Most stations still 4.79 or more so are they doing some price gouging or trying to make up for $ lost when the price skyrocketed?

E85 local down to $2.999

That's a little more livable.

False. No shortage of diesel fuel or diesel fuel additives. Maybe Urea? For Def mix  I doubt it.

Got some E-85 today for $2.99 a gallon.  Nearly half a tank was only $38, on regular 87 it would be $58 for the same amount of fuel.

Based on TXAB's information and knowing the fuel tax rates in both Illinois and Texas I'd say GOUGING is alive and well in Illinois. Our total tax is 20 cents higher but our cost is 40 to 80 over that.

5.789 at Murphy (WM) yesterday for Premium 91, down 20 cents since last week.  Lowest prices here although local Shell at grocery store match's price on 87 but they are always very high on the premium 91, if they have any, and the mid-grade 89 does not exist.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
