$5.009 in New Meadows, ID
$4.729 in Riggins, ID

Since there is absolutely nothing we can do about the price of fuel... But there is something we can do about our driving habits and mods of our truck to get highier MPG's. I'm living proof of it. I'm now running 21.7 to 23.3 MPG as a daily thing... Trust me it still hurts going to the fuel station but not so bad when you looking at 500 miles on the trip and you got 1/4 shown (12 gallons left)..

ScanGauge II Display (Defined)...
MPG= Instant MPG's
MPH = Miles per hour (speed)
Cmg = Current MPG today
Tmg = Total MPG for the tank

I just saw on the news, diesel prices have gone up to $5.29 over night!

And I drive 40 miles RT to town. But at least I don't have to go in every day!

Drilling in the national forest is a short term solution to a terminal problem. What we really need is to develop the successor to fossil fuels.

ORIGINAL: speakle

I wonder how badly the econonmy will have to hurt from high fuel prices before people finally have enough and stand up to the tree huggers and dems in congress.

Just filled up both tanks, $4.52 @ 68.5 gal's.

Never thought I'd be spending over $310.00 at the fuel pump.

I know that we in the US are suffering over this, I can only imagine how bad it is in other countries.
Like Reed mentioned, there has to be another alternitive.

AHHHHH! This is driving fn crazy! The diesel nationals are going to be here in indy this coming weekend, hopefully somebody there can answer some questions about wvo. This crap sucks now that pretty much all my money is going to fuel. Im checking into this hydrogen power stuff also-supposedly its a 33-50% increase in mpg's.
