    I bought a little motorcycle as a comuter. The stupid thing is that I've only ridden it about 10 miles so far.

    I went to a QuikTrip this morning ~11am. 87 octane was $2.46. Went back to the SAME STATION at about 1 with the wife, and they had raised their price to $2.59. We then went around the corner to a BP. 87 was $2.49, so she filled up. Went back to the BP in my truck about 6pm, and they had also raised their price to $2.59. Then I just went home.

    Yeah these gas prices suck. But I am happy that we have E-85 up here, and I have been running it in my wifes Montana 3.4ltr with great sucess!!

    Ok ready for the price.....
    1.99 and I hear that it is going to drop when IA gets the other 8 plants online with in the next year or so.

    It's about time we stop paying farmers to farm dirt, and actually farm something!!

    I also saw on trucks tv that you can make your own diesel fuel. cool eh. I have been thinking about an old VW diesel. who would care if it smelled like McDonalds?

    I know E-85 has an Octane rateing of 101 so this should be cool, I am going to test it in the truck sometime next month. I will let ya know how it goes. I can tell you this much, from running it in the minivan, I watch it with hptuner, and the o2 levels are lower. so we will see if she has any other weird things happen.

    Perhaps you shouldn't have purchased a truck if you're that concerned about fuel prices...

    thats where i stand. yeah i play with my truck at the track and put all kinds of accessories on it to make it look good, but in the end, its still a WORK TRUCK. i pull a trailer 5-7 days per week, and couldnt imagine it just sitting in the garage. with the work/hobbies i have theres no way in hell i could ever drive anything besides a truck.

    good thing i just bought a scion tc for the girlfriend. she dosent know it yet, but we will be taking that car EVERYWHERE

    Yesterday 93 was 2.69 a gallon and today its 2.99 for 93. Thats what I have to run all the time, cause of the tune and supercharger. Just think, tomorrow its time for a fill up. I'm pulling my camper to Charlotte this Friday to do the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Its 421 miles one way according to Mapquest.
