    Depends on how much air you put in the tires, but its pretty stable at 40 mph. I need to tinker with the torque converter when the weather gets better so it engages sooner.

    You could easily probably avoid California but you're gonna spend more goning around it. Plus the prices are not like this just in California they're gonna catch up with everyone in the country. So take advantage of the discounts now.

    This right here. OPEC is getting jittery. Plus they're testing the waters to see what the market can bear. I'm somewhat optimistic the pricing will come down a bit once OPEC is out of the 2 year deal they agreed to in March 2020 but they may think we're headed for a recession anyways and do jack shit.

    I can't imagine this thread isn't going to get locked. But hey it lasted several pages longer than the 2nd gen gas chat thread.

    And here I thought Guam's gas was expensive... 20220218_193545.jpg
    I even gas up with premium. Thankfully Shell has a $5 discount for every $30 of vpower promo right now.

    Need to have two prices for oil, shitty prices for butthead countries and cheap oil for us!
    Canada and Mexico are the biggest exporters to the USA. We have plenty of oil.

    At least higher gas prices = less traffic. I'm alright with that.

    I also moved moved 90% of my investments into oil when it tanked at the beginning of COVID. Which I have not been upset about either, especially the last few months.

    They did put a moratorium on new oil peases on federal land, so at least those guys won't be stealing all the good camping spots.

    Yeah especially on these vehicles that have anti-siphoning on the newer vehicles. It'll be fun to watch.

    Save a few bucks every time I mow my lawn. Got this a few years ago while trying to improve my grass quality.

    I'm think there's thieves that will just drill the tank. At $5-$6gallon, that could be $150 in gas.

    You've solved your own riddle here! Seriously though, sadly you're correct, and it would get to a point where any logical person would understand that it costs them more money to work than it does to stay at home. Almost like government dependence would be the answer; gross.

    Look at this way, if gas prices discourage people from driving their modded out taco's...the classifieds will be filled with good parts on the cheap!

    Oh yeah Guam. Miss those hellacious summers and year around heat. The ginormous coconut crabs and the crazy life.

    But it'll get there soon. I can only imagine how much it cost on base.
