That " SUN " Too bright too early ...

 

Morning all. Happy hump day.

 

Happy "traffic sucked ass" day everyone

 

Isn't that pretty much every day lately?

 

Yup, been real bad the last week or two. Summer can't come fast enough to help with that.

 

Don't you love the price of fuel … $70 and I wasn't close to being empty ( 109 miles to E )

 

You live on the wrong side of the state. I have a 25-mile commute with no stoplights (and no traffic).

 

Yeah, tanking up from the 1/2 mark is a quick way to kill a $50 bill. Amusingly, my driving my '69 might actually be more fuel efficient this summer

 

My oil guy wants to replace my oil line in August, so I can't fill the tank until then. Hoping prices don't skyrocket any more before them.

 

In all honesty this F-250 is getting between 18 - 19 avg , and with the larger tank (600 mile range ) filling up once looks bad ..you just don't notice it when you fill up a couple times a week ..

 

Aaand... Now we play the waiting game. Compressor is getting worked on so I had to shut down both horizontals I am running

 

It's about $65 to fill the Sierra. I get better mileage than the Taco did so I don't care.

 

Same here with the F-150. Been averaging 22 MPG over my rural hilly commute. I can get around 500 miles out of a tank.

Kind of glad I didn't bother with the 36 gallon tank. I don't need more range than 500 miles.

 

before going to the cape I paid about 3.50/gallon, on way back from the cape, i paid 20-30 cents less per gallon i was pretty happy lol. I guess I should just fill up on the cape. Also, I probably shouldn't have gone to bed at quarter of 1 lol

 

It was cheaper on the cape? I'm surprised by that. I always fill up before I go over the bridge because it tends to be more expensive down there. The other day I think I paid 2.65/gallon at BJs in Franklin

 

You have one of those too? Ain't it grand.....

Just friggen awful. Rt 4 through Chelmsford/Billerica/Bedford was a shit show.

Ain't that the damn truth.

 

Yesterday cost me the same to fill the cruiser, but I've been averaging about 80-100 miles per tank more than the taco so I think thats a win.

 

You try just adding fresh ATF? My FJ does it every once in a while since my rack has a really slow leak at the driver's side ITRE. Throw some fresh fluid in and it's all good.

 

TesteYestand today. Almost 2 hours to get in both days.

 

Anyone ever installed leather seat covers before? Well not really covers I ordered new leather for my front seats for the cruiser because the old ones were shot. I've been reading up on how to install them and basically I need to remove the old leather and reinstall the new with hog rings and the whole deal. Anyone able to offer some advise or insight?
