SoonerLS Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 My brother filled up at the Costco in Owasso/N. Tulsa on Saturday for $2.96/gal for E10/87, and the Owasso Sam’s had the same fuel for the same price. The Costco on the other side of town (16 miles away) was listed at $3.75 for the same fuel. I paid $3.71/gal for E10/87 at the west Tulsa Sam’s on Saturday evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I couldn't resist sharing this morning's Moderately Confused" comic about fuel prices. Just last week Trump was talking about gas prices and claiming that he'd seen prices at $1.85/gallon in Iowa. I then looked at GasBuddy.com and saw that the average price for regular grade gas in Iowa was $3.35! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe771476 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Apparently gasoline isn't expensive enough yet. Why? Because 1) I continue to see fuel-guzzling pickup trucks racing up to red lights, then flooring it at green lights. Then they hit a lane of backed up traffic on a 4-lane secondary road so I pass them in my lane and wave to them! What did they gain? NOTHING! It takes a lot more fuel to bring a vehicle up to speed from a DEAD stop rather than a slow roll. I know when the lights are going to turn green and red. It also wears your brakes out sooner bringing a 1 or 2 ton vehicle to a DEAD stop. 2) On the highways they're doing 80 MPH. Then they hit a backup and I drive past them in my lane and wave! 3) I see my neighbors using their remote starters to start their cars when the outside temp is 55 to 75 degrees F! You're kidding, right? You mean they can't handle that range for a few minutes while driving? Even if it's colder or warmer than that range, the car will be comfortable after 5 to 7 minutes unless it's much below freezing outside! In extremely cold weather, I let the engine run for a minute, then SLOWLY proceed down my street. In summer, drive with the windows down initially; you'll get a little breeze. Yep, I wish gas was $10 a gallon. THEN we'd see a change in driving habits..........maybe. I shift into neutral on 6% or less downhill grades but only on dry pavement. My RPM's go down to 1000 or less. On some stretches of highway I can maintain 60 MPH for a mile and on secondary roads an average of 45 MPH for up to a half mile. I only recommend this for the experienced driver. I also back into parking stalls so it takes less time to pull out because you can see if any cars are coming more easily, thereby reducing creep time so less fuel consumption. It adds up over time. If possible I pull through a parking stall into the next one so sometimes I don't have to back in! If I do have to BACK in, it saves gas pulling out forward and safer because it's better to back in between two STATIONARY vehicles than back into MOVING traffic. When I'm lined up with where I'm going to park, I shut off the engine and coast the final 10 to 25 feet. I still have ample braking and steering capabilities since it's a hydraulic system. Can you do that with electric steering and/or braking in ICE cars? Anyway, the result? My car is only supposed to get 25 MPG avg., but I can eke out 31 MPG quite often. I've been known to get 125K -- sometimes more -- miles on a set of brakes on most of my vehicles. My wife had a 1996 Nissan Sentra with a 5 speed overdrive manual transmission and I could get 52 MPG with that car on the highway! I think the Nissan Versa still has it! BTW, all my vehicles -- 95% Fords -- have lasted 12 to 20 years and accumulated 250K to 480K miles and I never got rid of them because of repairs needed. It was because of life changes. That 480K car was a 1953 Ford Crestline that I drove to the junkyard. That was a mistake! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorpsychology Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Strange Voodoo economics that sets prices. 91oct. around the Twin Cities 13-county metro area is $0.70-1.25 more than 87 (lowest oct. around here), which varies only about $0.20-25 with a few outliers that are higher or lower.
