$4.15 for premium at the place I buy from here today. But I’m only running about a tank a month now that I’m retired so it’s no big deal. Back when I was commuting a tank wouldn’t even last a week. I guess the overlords will have to get rich off someone else like @randeez once he gets that beast up and running again. :driver:

It 4.10s on stock tire rpm was high doing 90mph+ everywhere..on 35s atleast the rpm should drop back down and i prob wont drive as fast. Don't think imma lose much mpg compared to before.

You figuring wear and tear and depreciation in too? I remember at one job they offered me comp to drive my own rig or drive a work truck and the job covered half the state. I would have made money on the comp until I figured out the cost of tires, oil changes, wear and tear and the fact I’d be putting an extra 20,000 miles a year on my truck. I decided to drive their truck.

Driving their truck isn't an option or would be a better deal.
Most companies outfit trucks with mph,braking, idle, GPS monitoring shit also now tho, so prob wouldn't care to drive one if so....I **** off a lot on the clock

a nub just creates turbulence. a hole creates a low pressure zone which acts like a venturi that will either suck more oil in from the head or "hold" onto the air passing by it

The small nub is the current goal, the only time a small nub is desirable.

Wait until you see what it is today...

Friday mornings seem to be the cheapest of the week then Friday after lunch it always jumps. I had to fill up Wednesday so I don't have to cry till next week lol.

I f*** off so much on the clock if I had a GPS on the company truck I'd have no job.

GPS wasn’t even invented yet back when I was doing that, in fact neither were cell phones. Had to stop at a phone booth when the pager went off but they had no idea if the page even got through so I’d just snort another line and keep on. F em. Loved those days. :cool:
