I actually just got another Mustang. so even more gas to buy 

Their Mach-E (EV) has issues. But many 1st gen cars have issues. So this is expected.  Including Ford mechanics not knowing how to work on them yet.

I'm more of a Mustang purest.  the Mach E isn't a Mustang to me.  it's a SUV, 4 doors, electric, so not a Mustang in my book
although its a very good car, with those 1st gen issues like you said.
very good car, I just don't like how Ford execs market it, calling it a Mustang and giving it Mach status. 
2023 will be the last year of the Mustang with a V8 motor.  and that's sad to me.  they are going to castrate an American Muscle car icon to be compliant to the green earth movement.  I think they will still have V8 in specialty cars, but the Mustang is by definition a free roaming horse of the United States, or what it was named after the P51 Mustang Military fighter plane of WWII.
It will be a sad day in History when they don't make V8 Mustangs anymore      

I'm old.
I remember early 60's gas wars, 1973-4 fuel embargo, 1978-79 gas lines et al.
It is curious to me why we have plenty of fuel today at costs that rise at the whim of
a politician, or bureaucrat.
The USA coupled with the economy of Canada
is more than capable of being entirely self sufficient.
Why does a hiccup in Asia cost us so much money?

Because the government and the people that run the government
Want it to be this way.
So I would prepare for $4 per liter fuel prices soon.  They will switch to metric to
confuse the Voters. As  we have seen in most recent elections most voters are
easily confused.
 

 

Hey stang,
If you like really wake up da powwah in dat Mustang, put in one Roar Pedal. Plug and Play. I put one in my 09 FX50 and the difference is unbelievable. MPG also went up from 18.1 to 19.2 mpg even on the Sport + setting.  It also has a Eco setting but I not dat kine guy. 10 min or less install. $160.

Wow, I didn't know that. Those Mustangs you see that the tourist are driving are V6. And the GT's are the V8 right?  A modern V6 stang is just lame.

They weaponized the EPA which allows now the AFT to make up things on a whim. 

Then they got the green hippies for free labor who are easily told what to believe in and they do most of the work for the big oil/EPA.

The same thing going on with other issues where people are told what to think and don't question what's on TV.

I was watching the KHON2 morning news about the Red Hill leak. Had a green person on there happy about the news of them shutting it down, but not convinced they will until actions are taken because the gov has said before 1 thing, but did something else.

So is there another location they will be using, or just totally get rid of these gallons?  Which I would say puts us at risk.

The US has lots of oil that we don't need to buy any. But thanks to EPA and hippies, we can't access it.  So there's that.

Thought about that for my 2012 4Runner.  Same engine as my 07, but feels a lot more sluggish.  Damn liberal greenie reprogram of the accelerator for "economy"

My 07 feels a lot quicker, but I know it is just the throttle programming.

looks like a nice plug and play modification, but I already have a Whipple Supercharger, tuned, and a lot of supporting mods   
my MPG's went way down. it now gets anywhere from 4-14 mpg's depending on how far I press the throttle down   

the Mustang I just recently took ownership of is not as fast.  has bolt on's and tuned with exhaust
there's a few things I want to upgrade on it. already ordered some of them
best thing i like about it is it's a California Special GT with candy apple red paint, looks really nice
its not super fast, but fast enough to do some damage 

 

Just checked and my surf rig gets 25mpg with the seats removed. Not too shabby. I was thinking about upgrading but now I'm going to maintain it like a Cubano car. It might be the last one I ever own if the prices get to a point where driving doesn't make sense any more.

Saudi Arabia and the Emirates won't take biden's calls.

How humiliating, 

Shows how much respect the biden/harris administration has around world leaders.

I wouldn't take that idiot's call either. On 2nd thought, maybe I would...to tell him "LET'S GO BRANDON!" and hang up.

I don't blame them,  as a rule I don't talk to Democrats either.  Waste of time and energy.
 

Just finish doing my taxes and when I last filled up gas was in June 2021 it was $3.65 for 92 (most expensive one) octane.  The highest it was in 2021 was in March and $4.09 for 92 octane. For reference, I use the same gas station and today it's $4.66 for 82 octane (the cheapest one).

It used be a 10 cent increase as you went up each grade, so 92 used to be 20 cents more than 87. Now the difference between 87 and 92 is about 60 to 70 cents.  The cheapest gas I ever bought was in April 1971 at a Terrible Herbst in Vegas， 26 cents a gallon for 95 octane. Back then you could buy Chevron Custom Supreme 105 octane pump gas. You could soup up your big V8 and run 12.5 to 1 compression with no pinging.

Does 76 McCully still have the 100 octane?

Just got back from Hele in Mililani Town Center.  Regular unleaded was $4.689 per gallon.  Last week it was $4.589 per gallon.

LET'S GO BRANDON!!

Forever and ever, world without end, AMEN.

Have seen bunch of 87 at $4.74 in down.    

Also seeing many folks posting that "it's not our Leader's fault".  It's the greedy oil industry.  While truth to that, missing some key accountability points. . . at least IMO. 

Does 76 McCully still have the 100 octane?

yes.  idk the price currently.  pre-pandemic was $10/gallon

Wow, I didn't know that. Those Mustangs you see that the tourist are driving are V6. And the GT's are the V8 right?  A modern V6 stang is just lame.

The V6 motors they got now are putting out a lot of power, they are no slouch especially with the turbo. They got 4 cylinders making as much power as the old V8s
