Local gas

[fasteddie]

We were able to get gas for $3.80 on the way to Orlando . Drivers are nuts down here . We were doing 75 in the 70 mph highway and had vehicles passing us like we were standing still . Cars zig zagging in and out and many drivers don't use their turn signals . Saw a lot of near miss accidents .

[mention=871]Biz-R-OWorld[/mention] tell me you at least dumped some money into oil stocks/funds?
I went balls deep on 2-22. Heck yeah...heck yeah.

Haha I did not. I went balls deep on a house in CT lol. The good news is I pulled a bunch of $ out in early January I’ll get a big chunk back in 2 weeks when i sell NY and re enter the market lower!

Even the guy that has an electric car business says to increase fuel production! https://news.yahoo.com/extraordinary-times-demand-extraordinary-measures-014829422.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANivYZdqdEFAOE9kL9cpkg_VQ8ze0hx8OPsUFp1DxEt8tQ1iXSQbZL1qeEM7gug03R-vF5wEWMMpVEVrdkT88sD62Y9NWBamZbI5f14YYHJifjA1bD6-OK1_N_wOhr2frJVN-csGvrUrdJETx3pqKBlH7ouv9zuPnfsm2f-F69P7

Orlando’s funny, going from Cocoa beach to the Orlando airport , it’s a mellow easy drive ,via 528.

Over on RT 4 you could not pay me $100 an hour and a free tank of gas to drive that ,if one considers alternating from miles of stop,and go to a high speed free for all , driving . I’d rather spend 2x the time to go, around .

Local gas station $4.45 gallon regular. Super easy over $5.

Just topped off at $3.89 here in Fla. after a slow 4 hour round trip to the airport .

Wife and i drove down to Sarasota area from southern tier and would like to avoid the drive again. Same experiences you had. Nothing like having to drive white knuckle down and back with All the Dale Ernhardt imitators weaving in and out. Route 95 in S.C. was an experience all its own.

As a young guy I remember how much I liked my parents taking us to Carolls. Burgers were .20 then went to. 25. Remember my dad complaining.  Was one in Newark and Weedsport that we went to.

Also remember the gas rationing in the 70s. They didn't ration on the thruway. I had a place to sneak off through a farm field with my 4wd truck. Never worried about an empty tank.

What route ? We’re in Sarasota now, Lido beach actually. We don’t take 95, avoid that at all costs, we hit a small part of it around SC/ Geo, then back roads through Fla. to The Villages, then an easy drive to Cocoa Beach .

When we left CB cut across the state to Sarasota, the mainland around there can be a challenge but the keys are a can of corn .

No 95, No rt 4 .

 

[Nytracker]

Topped off truck today . 11 gallons at $4.09 =$45.00 Obiden sucks ! Last time I payed over 4 bucks for gas was Obama times .

Was 95 backed up around hardeeville SC? Always run into backed up traffic there always accidents. They say the interstate narrows down there. That's why it's alWays backed up.

My first ever road trip to Florida, a couple months ago, involved a portion of 95 through SC. We were warned of the narrowing down to 2 lanes each way, which made driving a little more of a challenge, plus the upkeep of the stretch was not good. 

No back up or accidents northbound, but a couple on the southbound lanes. Maybe fly next time, if the car rental costs aren't so crazy high.

southbound took route through Pa, Virgina's, NC, SC and then picked up the 95. Went through Charlotte, then eventually Orlando (rt4). Our trip was in October, so things were not too bad, but I made sure of avoiding Orlando and Charlotte at all costs on the return journey. Fly over the Bullcrap next time.

144 miles round trip here.. cost me 49$ to fill my little civic up this morning. at 4.39$/gallon

Straight trash! 

[doebuck1234]

Was $3.70 at the rez on Saturday so finished filling up,then blew a head gasket on truck yesterday.....WTF.....

[wolc123]

I am going to make a few changes to cut my gas consumption this year.  First I need to register the rowboat that I picked up for $100 bucks a couple years ago, and get a portable kit for the little depth finder that I bought recently (that will also be handy for ice fishing). I’ll use that little boat for far trips and just use my bigger boat local.  I have always wanted to try Hemlock lake and that will give me an excuse to do it. 
 

 My 5.5 Evinrude uses a lot less gas than the 70 Johnson on my bigger boat and I can haul the 12 footer on top of our 25 mpg mini van, rather than our 15 mpg Silverado.  That big thirsty truck is going to stay in the barn, unless I need it to tow my boat for local fishing trips or to haul something big.  I’ll stick with my 32 mpg Equinox for most of my driving.

Get ready the big jump is still to come!

Fortunately being retired we don’t have to drive much at all, other then traveling and really once we get where we’re going the car mostly sits .

The working man has my sympathy.

[DirtTime]

Grab those ankles, oils going to rocket to over $170 a barrel by the end of the week. Some said gas will be at or over $10 a gallon by the Summer, and it looks like it's headed that way.

[Lawdwaz]

The taxes generated at the pump will be incredulous.   NYS wins again…..lol

You could mothball your Subaru, pick up, camper and boat for a year and you’ll still be heavily effected by $150-$200 oil.   
 

Buckle up……(lol never mind, your not driving!)
