COS  Maverick E15 which says its (87 octane) yesterday  3.09 and then drove into 65 mph winds all the way home.  That turbo was working at 75 mph.  Amsoil PI in use after last treatment 4000 miles ago.

Many places are now $3.49 a gallon.

 

That's 40-50 cent jump in less than 2 weeks.

$3.29 seems to be a popular price for RU 87, as usual some lower and some higher, I paid $3.09 yesterday at a station that was $2.95 the day before

Out taking the Sunday drive today and spotted several stations over $4 for regular 87 E-10. :mad:  COSTCO was still $3.55 :P

Even though my higher fuel mileage vehicle is now ready to go on the trip east I was thinking of taking my avalanche. It’s always ready. I just like the feel of it the best I ain’t going to lie. With the track record of those older GM full size vehicles break downs aren’t a concern. I took it to visit my mother with my wife. While reminiscing of the business trips we took together in similar vehicles in that decade. Then I passed a gas station on the freeway noticing an increase of another 10 cents a gallon. That would double my fuel cost at around 15-18 miles per gallon. Back to in town trips it goes. And to think just a few short years ago we weren’t tied to the will of opec. It seems the one thing we’re good at is giving our enemies, competition, whatever the tools to control us.

Seems steady here, most places around $3.30 RU87 but if you look still  can find places at $3.09

the local Speedway jumped up to 3.59, most other places around $3.39, A new station opened down the street is $3.05 trying to rebuild the business from previous owners which had the highest prices in the area. Prices are RU 87. I saw 1 place about 20 miles away that was $3.99, hope that is not a sign of the future

Floating around $3.34-3.49 here.

 

88 octane at one station is $2.89 still.

Some stations are down about 30 cents to $3.59. Most are even holding about $3.79, and a few are over $4. :crazy:

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
