Worked at a full service gas station in high school with 2 bays for repairs. Mechanical pumps, cheap oil in cardboard quarts and mostly cash sales. Gas rarely went over 30 cents a gallon for regular.

Now we are in my wheelhouse     Any refinery that can run sour crude can and does process sweet. Just can't do it as efficiently. Fact, no refinery in the USA processes ONLY sour crude. They

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.

Pittsburgh PA.  

 

PA has one of the highest gas taxes in the US and our region is highest in the state.  They say it's due to our proximity to suppliers or some crap.  C'mon already.

Anyone using the Get Upside app?  A friend of ours puts a ton of miles on her vehicle for her job and uses it and has gotten back some serious cash. 

I have it and used it but seems a while back the stations close didn't participate.  Just looked and now they do and one is at .25 a gallon pay out.  Also I have $54 in my account.  I guess I need to transfer it to my Paypal. LOL

Only 3 places participate here. All Conoco.  Payout is .11. Only problem they are .18 higher than at least 3 other places in town before any CC cashback card offers are figured in. No use for the app for me

Bummer, it seems here all the BP, Exxon and Shell along with Circle K are players.  Most .14 cents back and up to .25 cents.

I'm not sure what the draw is to Upside. It doesn't payoff around here. Quik Trip, Wally, Sams, Costco beat everybody. Shell is the highest around here @ $4.69. Not even sure we have an Exxon anymore.

 

As I said only Conoco participates (3 locations) as of now and that hasn't changed over the last 3 months

COSTCO isn't always the cheapest but near the bottom always and we pegged our 4% discount to gas. Now that it's close to $5 a gallon that pays pretty good and makes it the cheapest game around. Just wish it were closer. :(

Our Costco is such a zoo. I swear you’ll burn 10 gallons waiting in line to fuel up. Sam’s is a little better so that’s where I go when I can. But neither is particularly convenient.

My Kroger’s is based on purchase. I’m usually around 40 cents cheaper once a month. Our regular discount is 3 cents same with Sams. I use to stop at Sams with the wife’s car after church. It’s become a mad house. I usually just pick one on the way back home on Sunday. There’re usually pretty close to the same.

$315.46 since October 7, 2019.  For a while there Shell's $0.05 for being gold whatever (with promotions going as high as 30c a gallon discount) was either negating all cash back or cutting into the cash back.  I haven't done any of the eateries yet and none of the groceries participate here.  According to fuel rewards I've saved $140.68.  No clue when I started that.  Plus I always get 2% or 5% back on fuel and whatever I buy from inside via my credit cards.

Nor around here. If they have a system that gives 5 cents a gallon back the price per gallon will be 6 cents a gallon higher than those that don't. :nonod: 

 

We know that COSTCO prices Signature products (gasoline) 15% above wholesale so when someone sells under COSTCO I look at 'by how much' and for how long. I have talked to a few retailers that will price below wholesale one or two products to get the traffic moving in their direction then....back to the gouging. 

 

Gas Buddy is a huge help and yet not 100% accurate always. There is a lag between GB and the stores posting. There is a huge reliance on the customers participation in spotting and signaling changes.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.

      Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.
