E85 sucks...way more expensive to produce plus way less energy for the dollar, land etc. Even Flex Fuel vehicles made for it are much more efficient running dynofuel. There would be no such thing as E85 if the American government wasn't subsidizing it. People won't use it because it is WAY more expensive right now and typically costs more to use than dyno. With the amount of dyno in North America we will not run out, especially in your kids and my grandkids lifetimes. Gasoline vehicles burn fuel so much more efficiently now that 40 years ago it is crazy...hence way lower emissions and much better MPGs.

Saw regular for $1.679 today here, WHAT?

I was happy to see the 87 at a whopping 3.33, the cheapest I've seen it in 10 years! Freaking Ontario prices are more than 10 cents cheaper than here haha

Edit: 10 cents per liter that is. 38 cents difference on the gallon.

Dude's lazy. The miles thread is like 10 threads down from his. I dislike helping absolutely lazy people.

$1.679/gal is around $0.44/L. I'd brush my fucking teeth and gas my weed whacker with 93 at that price.

I know. In Shreveport, 92 with 10% ethanol is around $2.25. 87 is $1.83 at this one Shell. I just had an itch to put non-ethanol in her this time.

This J is feeling a-okay, bummer that the rest of y'all aren't :-(

Got in the truck (can I call it a truck? It rides on a Silverado chassis) to go to work today and it was 8* according to the mirror gauge. EIGHT.

The CD changer appears to have either temporarily or permanently packed it in thanks to the cold. The whole drive to work it just sat and kept making a bunch of noises without actually selecting a disc to play. Might end up doing that head unit upgrade sooner than I thought.

Y'all keep your fingers crossed, prease. Got a guy from Montana who is allegedly getting a loan and sending me a deposit on the 128 today.

Also, this is why you don't let your graphic-designer friends see photos of you and your new Yukon:

I'm tired of being sick. Almost out of my strep throat & tonsillitis, got a few more days of antibiotics but my throat still hurts due to the scraping of every food particle. :|

Change that CD player. Mine still played Tupac Greatest Hits this morning. Power steering was so rough and so were the brakes, a chilly -24F brrrr
I only felt the seat warmer get warm when I was parking in the work parking lot, 10 minutes after leaving.

Also hot pic, that's so badass right?
