i got a deal yesterday...3.85 per gallon (10 cent
per gallon discount thru the frequent shopper
program at KROGER).
spent 83 bucks for 1/2 a TANK !
i can remember when it was less than 50 bucks
(in 2004) for a WHOLE tank full !
im seriously thinking about moving to a 3.55 rear
and even adding a double overdrive.

When I moved here in 1999 diesel was .69/gal.

I filled my truck yesterday, I had 1/4 tank, cost me $110 to fill up!
It is $4.499 per gallon this morning, it will probably be higher by this evening, but
4.499 x (38 main tank) and (74 in bed tank) = $503.89
Back in 1959 gas was around 30 cents per gallon, with gas wars at 19 cents per gallon. I do not remember ever seeing a diesel car or truck at that time except for big rigs.
Our original estimation of fuel costs for our trip was 3-4 thousand, now it is
$5,000. Oh well...

I remember the 19 cent gallons when I worked in a car wash in the '60s. I had a small Yamaha motorcycle (80cc) that took 1.5 gals per week. Wish I had it now...

I just feel like I was RAPED AGAIN!!! I have plugged my lap top into the truck to see were I can do some tuning. I did my Buddy's dodge and he's now getting 26 mpg on the hwy at 65 mph, BUT he also has a second overdrive on the back of his T-case.

We need to develope other sources of energy like nuclear fusion and hydrogen powered vehilces ASAP. But until the time happens when we can tell the Saudis to piss off, our economy is going to continue to suffer. That is unless we IMMEDIATELY develope our untapped oil resorces.
Two such undeveloped areas are the much debated area in the Alaskan arctic and the recently announced Oil Discovery in MT & ND.
As long as we allow ourselves to be controlled and strong armed by OPEC:

, we are going to do nothing but continue to screw ourselves.
