    Gas is cheap but I and the wife are old and at risk ,but no county or state stay at home here yet . I have only driven it once since 3-1-2020 to top it off with gas , so 30 miles ? It is sitting with a NOCO charger on it waiting to pull something to some water somewhere but it hurts bad .
    Wake me up when this bad dream ends !

    I'm working from home and the kids just started school from home last week so I've only driven mine (brand new, btw) about 20 miles in the last three weeks. Haven't even left the house for more than 3 hours total in 2 weeks. This shit is getting old.

    I've put a total of about 75 miles on my truck in the past month... normally I do 800 a month. Though it is nice being able to start a mod and not have to worry if its done in the morning when I have to go to work.

    Damn, $1.14! Very nice. Pa has .77 cents tax per gallon so we’ll never see that price.

    I have about 10 miles on my truck the last 2 weeks but I think I’ll take the boat to the lake tomorrow and do some fishing. We’re allowed to do at least that.

    I think Costco sells all its products at a maximum mark-up of 15%. Gas is real cheap right now.

    working on it!
    Go for a drive almost every chance I get. I don't get out of the car though. I think my next step is to do some sunrise/sunset pictures at a nearby beach spot.

    My credit card bill is down a least 50% I'm kinda of liking that, gas usage had a lot to do with it. I'm retired and really don't need to go anywhere or buy anything other than beer and food!

    Milage has suffered hugely because the work commute has been running at 75+ mph instead of the usual 40. That said, the tank is still lasting twice as long because I haven't gone anywhere the past couple of weekends.

    Mostly due to weather though. There ain't anywhere to go and still socially distance when it's raining out.

    Daily driver has been parked for three weeks. Just little runabouts once a week- I started it up today and got the odo reset trick.. maybe I’ll throw the charger on there.

    There’s definitely a lot less transmission and typical 3rd gen gripe threads going around since everyone isn’t driving them :rofl:

    Been working from home for 3 weeks now, so not driving it as much as I use to. I do take it out for a quick drive on the weekends so it doesn't just sit there in the driveway. The only plus with this stay at home thing is I haven't had to get gas in three weeks. I filled it up right before I started working from home.

    No quarantine here. In fact, I hooked up with @theesotericone (Matt) this morning to go see the mountain. Good stuff, if not a bit chilly!!

    It was great to finally meet you. In case my wife reads this we followed all social distancing guidelines in the making of this trip. lol

    I make sure I stay 6 feet away from other vehicles when on the road so I'm not really worried. 70mph is a bit challenging though. :eek:

    Still out and about. No taking the boat out though, all boat ramps are closed here in SC. Work is busier than ever, so I’m lucky in that aspect. 849E43B8-9FF7-42F0-BFD2-400E3F290A99.jpg
