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.

During my travels recently starting in the state of low taxes and happiness, Texas. 3.09 per gallon. Ending in Fayetteville NC. Around 3.50 per gallon. Representing the most I paid per gallon. The flow of traffic was mind blowing on the interstates. Even through speed checks 80-85 mph. I didn’t want to stem the flow so I would match when hitting the fast lane. Settling back to 72-75 in the right.

went down .10 yesterday pretty much everywhere. Newspaper says diesel/heating oil reserves are 63% below average here in New England and all it will take to cause a major shortage is for the gulf coast refineries to get shut down by a hurricane. 24% of the homes in Massachusetts still heat with oil and more than 60% in Maine so it may be a tough winter. Diesel still right around $5 now and heating oil is around $4. That's a tuff nut for some ppl to find the $ to fill a 275 gallon oil tank every month

Well maybe there’s a bright side. We wouldn’t have extra money for the new IRS agents to take. Oh wait a minute that may be consider political, sorry!🫣🤐😜

Wow.  Does it really take that much?  I ask, I have no experience with that kind of heating.

 

If it were that much, at $4 a gallon, I'd have to marry an Eskimo woman.

If anyone cares Opec just flipped our idiot in chief the bird and will be cutting back production. This means price increases and our reserves are just about all used up now. I guess we should just hope nothing happens, as i don't think our military runs on batteries!

The 100,000 barrels a day is only reversing the 100,000 barrel a day increase they did one month ago, it literally means nothing.

 

The market was down $5 a barrel today anyway, lowest since Feb. It's complete randomness for the ups and down because all it takes is someone opening their mouth and giving an opinion for the markets to take a turn. They don't work on facts or real time data, they just spit hot garbage to make the market do whatever.

$3.75 where I live and $4.65 for diesel. 88 octane is $3.45 and going up north I found E85 for a mere $2.44 a gallon.

 

Where the local gas price war is going on in the south east metro it's down to $2.96 but I ain't driving 45 miles away to get fuel lol.

      Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.
