Fuel prices


Lazy WP

Recommended Posts

Paid $3.59 for E85 fuel Tuesday. My 2012 Chevy 2500 HD can run on it.

E10 gas was $4.50 at the same station. I run that in my small engines with no problems.

I need $.42 to $.46 difference in price to make the difference in  E85 worth using.

I’ve heard unsubstantiated rumors of more than just high prices coming soon. Again I say unsubstantiated but you don’t want to be caught off guard. I’ve heard shortages of diesel in a few weeks.  This could get bad.

4.24 off road delivered today. 

4.39 Gasoline delivered to the farm. 

That's a painful bill

That is less than I payed the in Feb just before the real shooting started in the Ukraine. But it was clear diesel, not red. Still very glad to have it.

But wifey’s BMW twin turbo needs the 93 octane, and I use the 90 octane ethanol free in all my outdoor power equipment. 

Both my kids have BMWs. Daughter's is a turbo 4, son's a normally aspirated 6. I told them to use mid-grade and tread lightly. They should have knock sensors so just a little power cut back. They've got plenty of power so a little less is no big deal. They state 91 octane required but only Sunoco seems to have it and they're proud of it.

Ya N E, I’ve been contemplating maybe mixing some mid grade 89 octane with the 93 octane during fill ups at the gas station for the BMW- pump some 89 octane, and then pump some 93, mixing it, to save a little bit on cost, and see what happens. There seems to be no 91 octane around us. They jump from 89 up to 93 and do not offer 91 octane here. 

I hope one good thing comes out of these rip off overly high fuel prices- I’ve been wanting to get myself a Toyota 4Runner SUV for quite some time now. The trouble is the dealers are not dealing at all on them, and some of the crooked thieves are charging over sticker for theirs. Even worse, used ones are just as much as the new ones. Totally ridiculous. 

Well, 4Runners are not known for their good fuel economy. What I’m hoping is, that if fuel prices stay high enough for long enough, that people will stop buying them, and that they will start piling up on dealers lots, and that they will start dealing on them again when people stop buying them due to their poor fuel economy. Then, once I can again negotiate a price off sticker, I will get mine. …….and then hope and pray that gas prices come back down to “normal” levels. That’s my plan, anyways. 

Fuel can’t stay this high forever. They are going to break the backs of the consumer and destroy the country if they keep ripping people off like this. Crime will increase as well, if fuel prices go much higher, just wait and see.

I buy road fuel in bulk, usually 1850-1950 gallons to fill my 2,000 gal. tank. Two years ago it was $4200ish to fill it, a month ago it was $9500. 🤬
