Todays (March 14, 2019) Gasoline report, San Diego Area

Just wanted to make a note that at Costco (San Marcos) the price of Regular was $3.059/ gallon.

My low fuel light had just come on about 3-4 miles before arriving, the truck took on 17.76 gallons (which means there was about 3.5 gallons in the tank when the light came on).

I traveled 255.3 miles per the trip odometer since the last fill up but corrected for my 265/75-16 tires (~2.5% slow) = 262 miles.

The true gas mileage this tank was a disappointing 14.8 mpg (highway and around town driving). I usually get 16 mpg with the combined driving I did... ??

2010 DC 4WD V-6 Automatic with 118,000 miles.

 

$3 a gallon ?

man you guys are gettin screwed.........

$2.15 today here 45 miles north of Podunk......Walmart......

mid grade 88 oct.....(splurged today on 88)

'14 Taco V6 with 80577 on the clock...4x4........6 sp......SBDC

 

sounds about right for gas prices.... the rest of the country that bitches about gas prices, come out to CA, especially socal.

also... OP the 265/75r16s are 3.4% bigger so its 255.3 * 1.034 = 263.98 miles. Still though, if those are load range E tires... and lots of round town, sounds about right.

 

I paid 2.38 for etoh free 88 octane when i last filled up a couple of days ago.

 

lol ethanol free gas, must be nice, none of that here in socal unless its a special station and you are taking race gas at 8+ dollars a gallon.

 

That really sucks for you all. I hope with all the changes Colorado is going through, we get to keep our etoh free gas.

 

Here in the PDR of California (People's Democratic Republic) we give so the state can prosper and the masses can worship our Democrat Lord's who know better how to spend our money better than stupid us!

 

Just read the post of the guy getting only 7 mpg. I guess I shouldn't be too upset at getting twice that?

 

No, P-rated tires (All terrain) and more highway than in town.

Oh, 3.4% is it? When I drive by the mile markers.. It seems to be a mile slow every 40 miles? 40 x 2.5% = 1 mile. Maybe it was every 30 miles slow by 1 full mile? I need to dig up mile notes from that Arizona trip!!
