My ranger gets way better mileage than my STI so it’s my daily at the moment. Going to get a motorcycle soon to help with my 70 mile total commute to work and home.

I know a few guys on the fire department that live outside Miami-Dade county. Housing prices being ridiculous they figured they were better off living outside the county since they work 24 and are off 48. I wonder how much they are enjoying this decision when their commute is 100-120 miles one way.

On that note, a nice front swung through late last night/this morning. And I curse these high gad prices for not being able to enjoy the weather while camping. Having to enjoy my cigar and adult beverage at home.

I'm not going up north this year to visit friends because of fuel prices...thanks Brandon... :rolleyes:

On the other hand, I'm getting to know my Honda 125 better...130mpg but not suited for trip up north lol...

The problem isn't the Russian people it's their leader. Half the citizens hate Putin too (could be most citizens hate him but don't want to go to prison for saying so).
Looks as if they have to play the same game than US and EU citizens, too…
and makes evident what the actual game amounts to

Funny (well not really) how when the per barrel price drops it only goes down a couple cents and takes a week. When the PBP goes up it shoots up it goes up the very next day and usually 0.10-.020 or more!
The market has strange rules, doesn‘t it? But the good thing for usual people is, the pension fonds invested in oil copmanies and pass on a few crumbs of it to their customers so that they can buy petrol…

I am paying $5.85 for a gallon of diesel here in the Philippines. But luckily for me all that I need is within just a few miles. So a tank can easily last a month. Most importantly my massage gal is only 1 mile away. So I can visit many times in a month. :LOL: :LOL:

Post is kinda lighthearted but may very well become reality. Tune with 93 grade has halted my Ranger drive time in half and used more as a driveway decoration
This is currently keeping me from considering the Ford tune.

Gas is nuts and painful. I just filled our heating oil tank and it was just shy of $1,000! The highest until now was $595 and that liked to kill me!

But if I eventually have to choose between heat and gas for the Ranger ... let's just say that we can wear coats inside!
