Ok, back to the real world. In my travels around town I’m now seeing 2.91 at some stations. 

Don't ever allow FACTS to get in the way of OPINION my friend.  Fortune is a real progressive anti oil  rag....LOL

There’s very little facts going around these days. There’s one fact for you. Fuel oil and diesel is becoming scarce in the east. I believe if the greedy big oil companies had it, they’d sell it.

Why don’t you read the article?

To their credit, Fortune did print the article that was written by two YALE professors, to say that they didn't have a political agenda might be a stretch. Fortune magazines' disclaimer was very prominent at the end of the article. There was a television news article today about rising gas prices and a shortage of distillates in the northeast, no reason given but I suspect part of it is self-inflicted given that region of the countries distaste for pipelines and maybe some hoarding of fuel oil by jobbers given the northeast's heavy dependence on heating oil. Just supposition on my part.

up .20 here. was reading the charging times for the electric Hummer, 55 hours for 120v home charger, 220 and 440v significantly shorter but 220 still like 20 hours and I don't know any one with 440v  at their home which is only an hour or so.

$3.25 E15 86 octane min  Maverik   and  $3.79 E10 91 octane 5 gallons from City Market ( Kroeger here) to ensure 87 octane at least in tank. 

 

US 160 closed at La Veta Pass for snow, ice, road work so had to take very slick, deep snow off road to get home from Alamosa. Was dicey.

Paid $4.80 😬 for corn free 87 for the JD lawn tractor, regular UL @ $3.23. PSA: O'Reilly's has Techron 2 for 1 so I stocked up.

Paid 3.15 in Waco yesterday, saw 2.89 in Montgomery Texas. Will be filling there Monday.

Upto $3.69 most places, local Speedway has lowest price which is unusual , Only $3.45 cash price, they are usually right there at the average price. Diesel anywhere from $4.75 to $6

Advance Auto has it 2 for 1 as well

 

$2.99 RU    $4.49 Diesel

    • 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.      
    • 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?   
    • 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
