Which sucks considering gas in California is expensive. 80+ dollars to fill up a little under half a tank.

@Flywheel  
Some just don’t for some reason.

@BarryFromMars  
It’s still broken, I’m awful at saving money and I don’t quite want to drop a transmission on the street.
 
 
@MagpulPony  
How big is your tank? I’m in california, my tank is about 22gal, and it costs me anywhere around $60-$80 to fill it up depending on the time of year

@MagpulPony  
Ouch, AZ wasn’t too bad but when I was driving through Chicago to visit family in IN, I had to stop after doing 400 miles on one tank and was running on fumes. Dumb ol me put a premium fuel tune on my truck and premium at the tollroad oasis stops was around $3.60/gallon. That one hurt my wallet real bad.

@Flywheel  
Sounds like the regular price for gas in California. Here is the least expensive station near me.  

@The magic 🅱oi  
36 gallons.

@MagpulPony  
Ok that’s a big tank

Either we’re just really lucky in TX or the falling gas prices haven’t quite hit where you guys live - here in the DFW area regular unleaded is as low as $1.92 per gallon.

@Zerowinger  
People in Texas are lucky period.

Welcome.

Darn.
 
@Flywheel
 
Darn. BTW, you might want to look up WMI (Water Methanol Injection.) It may allow you to go back to a lower octane without knocking, but it requires that you pay close attention to your WM level in an extra tank. People use it both to increase engine power and increase MPG. It also keeps your piston tops squeaky clean.
 
@The magic 🅱oi
 
Darn. Prices were $3.65 per gallon here in Pennsylvania back in 2013.
 
@Zerowinger
 
$1.92? It almost feels like 2000 again. Up here, It’s $2.759, give or take 5 - 10 cents.

@BarryFromMars  
Prices go up during the summer and holidays that people tend to travel for. I’ve seen it up to $4.15, $5 in some places. This one station right by a local high school has kept its prices at $4.99 for as long as I can remember.

My main project at school currently. 2002 trailblazer 4x4 that we’re taking the wiring harness out of, as well as the engine. Because the customer wants those things. Transmission is already out so it makes it a bit easier.
 
In other news my car is eating coolant

@Zerowinger  
Around $2.40 per gallon south of Provo.

I’ve found my place

 
This was my second truck ever and she’s still running strong even though I’ve got a new hottie sitting next to her in my garage

@SubaruAnon  
That’s cool. I’m building a 1950 Chevy pick up on an 87 S10 chassis with a custom built V8 hemi made by last years class at my school. We’re hoping to get it done this year and sold off when it’s complete

@ACApenetrator50  
That’s a Frankenstein’s monster type car, I like it. Hope it turns out nicely.
 
Also, I’m not really into trucks but i may have a thing for those types. I like amber running lights, looks lovely.

@ACApenetrator50  
Love all the lights on it.

I have a question though.
 
This my friends truck and that’s a 14 inch lift on it  

 
Is it worth putting a similar one on my truck?

Premium gas sucks, it gives my car better mpg though apparently. The best I’ve gotten is 28 mpg on normal 87 octane. Getting 24.3 in mixed driving. I hear trucks like the 2.7L engine get good mpg!
 
@ACApenetrator50  
Hot truck. I love seeing old dually trucks that arent lifted!
 
 
@Zerowinger  
That’s insane. My gas is down to $2.29
 
 
@ACApenetrator50  
Hopefully she’ll have a good 4x4 setup. Take pics too soon!

@ACApenetrator50  
All due respect, but this is the type of trucks I dislike. The one you posted earlier I liked because it was stock, and pure. (At least on the outside) Lifts to me are useless unless you actually go off-road. Which I rarely see.

@SubaruAnon  
They just make a vehicle heavier, get worse mileage, and have a higher center of gravity. Increasing roll hazards.

@SubaruAnon  
I do actually go off-road regardless of what exterior Mods are on the truck. The only thing I hate about doing it is getting stuck in mud because my winch only goes so far and I would just be getting myself more stuck by trying to drive out

@ACApenetrator50  
It’s good you actually use a lift for it’s purpose. I see too many lifted Jeep’s and shit that haven’t even seen a gravel road in their lives.
 
Don’t get me wrong though, I like ORVs. I should see if there’s any good trails in my area. (Not my car just an inspiration of what I might do to mine)
 
I’m still tryna decide between a lift or a lower lmao

@ACApenetrator50  
That’s why I’m probably going to just get a level at some point. Though I don’t even have a winch on my truck.
