Been kind of satisfied with the 4.8L here of late.  I'm fighting an evap system issue of late, so I've been driving it more than usual to resolve that.  As I have to do emissions in September.  

 

I knocked out a 17.8 mpg tank, 100% suburban driving, driving miss daisy style though.  But thought that was pretty darn good.

 

Then I filled it, took it to my son's college to move him in.  Some steady driving on the interstate.  Then came home and picked up a uhaul car transport and hauled his G35 to a local shop I trust.  Must have been about 30 miles towing the car transport (but only maybe 10 miles with the G35 on it).  Then I let my youngest drive it to school, and my G35 son drive it on a date with his gf (his car was in the shop).  I refilled it and that tank hit 17.4 mpg.  The long steady highway run must have been in the 20's to offset the slight bit of towing and sons driving.  I drove it once before on a long highway trip for my Paw and got 21 something on the interstate (I think it was).

 

So, pretty impressed with the 4.8L.  I put a Borla muffler on it for my dad before he passed and it sounds nice too.  Not too loud, just right.  Sounded like it put on it's big-boy pants versus the stock muffler.  

 

Gas was ~$3.60 a gallon for those 2 tanks.

Is that due to the leak in the Gulf shutting down the platforms for a few days?

[txab]

Beats me. I haven't been keeping up with much on the news. Let's see what happens over the next day or so

[KARNUT]

I’m seeing 3.09 in my area.

[richard wysong]

I got top tier 87 for $3.97 yesterday but had to take a trip today and saw prices from $4.09 to $4.95 but didn't go by any of the known low buck places that I know of to see if they went up

[txab]

Murphy's $3.06

[Grumpy Bear]

$3.75 and holding for about a week.

Hasn't moved where I live either, still $3.99 but other cities are falling.... yay greed.

Diesel is dropping.  I think I paid $4.38 or there abouts when I filled up yesterday.  Other places seem to be dropping as well.  This place is right across from where the tankers come to fill up so maybe that's why these 2 stations seem to drop first.  Towed my cargo trailer to my buddy's to install a winch in it DIC said I got 10.0-10.5ish mpg.  Same trailer with an Audi in it got me about 9.5-10 according to the DIC 4 or 5 months ago.  So the truck doesn't care what's in the trailer I guess

Wally back to $3.06. Murphy's $3.29

Diesel $4.11
