All electric house, on an electric co-op, and last month's electric bill, including heat (yes, it does get cold in the South) was nearly $300. Now that it's warming up and I have to run the pool filter, I don't see it going down any. I know, South, no snow, pool. Poor, poor, pitiful me.
Now I have to plan a trip to New Jersey to pick up $8000 worth of van conversion parts for the wife's business. Can't even begin to figure out the fuel costs for a round trip after I go to Orlando to pick up the van.
We found a cheap E-350 extended van, and also found a person parting out her dog grooming van due to totaling out the front end. The original van we were going to buy was nearly $50 K for a four year old unit. Getting a 2004 E-350 and the parts from the wrecked van, I'll save nearly $30K. I work for good cooking and a little extra attention now and then.
Should be interesting, as I have to take a Sawsall to the roof to install a high top. What will REALLY be fun is crating the high top and renting a trailer to haul it back to Florida.
Man, I dread driving in New Jersey.

Hey Bama what kind of mpg you getting with that big old Caterpillar? We have been running 3.2-3.4 with the 500 Cats and 3.6-3.8 with the 565 Cummins but that is running North and heavy. You get over 4 don't you?

You know I dropped the temp in the shop 10 degrees this winter but it only seemed to save me less than 50 gallons. Not sure chattering teeth are worth the $180.

My driver told me he has calculated it to just over 5 mpg

I figured down there in the real world they would get a little better
How heavy he usually run?

We are always close to the limit or just alittle over.
