Got down to $3.58 for a few days a week or more ago and has been creeping up the last few to $3.7** to $3.9**.

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.

Still $4.50 in our small town, $4.10 30 miles away.

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.

An uninsulated house can burn 100 gallons a week easily when lt's cold and windy. Still going down here ,saw $3.36 next town over yesterday

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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
