Fuel has dropped to to $3.56 for regular. I filled my wife's car 2 weeks ago.  The computer has it at 18 mpg for the first third tank. It has dropped from 23-24 city mpg. This must be the Biden 20% ethanol. FJB. I am now just above a half tank and I am going to fill it with pure gas the next time I have an errand.

The Ranger has 3/4 of a tank and has had less than 40 miles in the past 4 weeks.

Biden ethanol?  Your joking right?  ALL of the unlabeled gas has 10% ethanol in it and has for years.  Unless you specifically buy gas like E85, or pure gas.  I run the pure gas in the bike.

I wish I was Joking. Back in May SloJoe gave an executive order to up the summertime blend to 20%. The 10% labels are wrong. I don't drive the truck unless I need to haul something. I ride the ElectraGlide or dive the wife's car.  Ethanol has cost American drivers far more than it has helped. Last years corn crop had 60% go to ethanol production and the rest for livestock feed and human consumption. Corn production will be down this year due to less available fertilizer and the record high price of diesel. 

I also put 100% gas in the motorcycle. When I had the cam chain upgraded I had a Fueling oil pump , a cam that gave more low end torque and put on new slip-ons as I had one muffler that was bad. I had it dyno tuned with Sunoco 90 octane 100% gasoline. If I use any other pump gas the power and mileage goes down.

Disinformation.  The facts of what really happened is they waived, short term, the rule forbidding higher than 10% ethanol.  It COULD go up to 15%.  20% will damage vehicles.  It was more as a sop to corn farmers than anything else.  It mandated nothing.  It ALLOWED gas companies to put more in.  I thought letting companies do what they wanted with less governmental rules was what the GQP wanted?

Ok you made a good point though it will be researched.

Do you agree with redefining recession so it can be said we are not in a recession?

Seems like a stupid thing to do.  

Small compared to lying about what happened in order to make some stupid political point.  In the realm of lets go brandon.  Just  man up and say f*ck Biden.  I said f*ck tRump all the time, didn't need some catch phrase that made me sound like a toddler caught by mommy.

Here https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/12/business/economy/biden-ethanol-gas.html

Here is a list of every executive order for this year as well https://www.federalregister.gov/presidential-documents/executive-orders/joe-biden/2022

Sorry, the NYtimes is not a credible source of real information, I won't read it. Any outlet who knowingly shielded the hunter laptop story lost my attention forever Russian disinformation my ass.

I actually don't believe much of what I read anywhere, everything has a pitch.

I'm looking at the federal register article.

Back to topic, at least it isn't 5 bucks a gallon here any more. Still 50 to 70% more than a few years ago. About $3.55 a gallon here in GC.

Just the first one I came upon.  I didn't know there were sources you didn't like.

So the laptop was mythical, there was no election fraud, Biden is running the country by himself and is in perfect cognitive shape to do so, that's why he didn't need a test, and you are going to be perfectly OK with riding an electric motorcycle, windmills never catch fire, kill birds or need oil to work properly, you would feed your grandchildren water from near a recycle facility where solar panels are retired, 2000 mules was a staged propaganda attempt, hunter didn't boink his dead brothers wife, Joe didn't take a shower naked with his daughter, more than 50% of the population is gay, bi or transgender, and God does not exist, hell is just a scare tactic to keep you from having fun while you are on earth, and pot should be legalized for recreational use.

I'm going to need some time to soak al this in, I'll start with a bourbon and sugar free red bull.

Never seen or heard anything about it.  If it is a thing, let's see it.  One key point between tRumps kids and Bidens kids, Hunter was never in government.  tRumps were given non-elected positions by his dad that they used to enrich themselves.  If there is corruption, charge hunter and convict him.  Same for tRumps.  The rule of law should stand, no matter the side.  Can you agree?

Biden has advisors.  Just like tRump did.  If you thought he made all those decisions purely on his own, you are wrong.  I thought I was pretty clear, they both are pretty old.  Biden might be losing it.  tRump has ALWAYS had impulse control issues.  

I work in Solar.  I know very well AND understand the science behind how they are retired.  Yes, I am fine with it because I know how it is done and why it is done that way.  I know the rules and laws that govern it, so I am fine with it.

Never saw 2000 mules or any other number of mules.  Never heard of it, can't comment on it.  Not commenting on things when I don't know the facts is a good trait that I wish more people employed.  I don't give a sh*t who Hunter fucked.  He is not now nor has he ever been an elected official.  Never heard about the naked shower.  Do you want me to get you actual quotes from tRump about how would like to f*ck Ivanka?  Pictures of him being creepy as f*ck with her on his lap?  2 second google search...

50%?  now you are just making   up.  But ok.  I really don't care what a persons sexual orientation is, it literally doesn't affect me in any way what two guys in NJ do, or 2 girls in LA.

I'm not a believer, so religion is not a good argument to get into.  Legal medicinal pot I am fine with.  I am ok with rec, even though I don't smoke, and I can't stand the smell.  Again, let people do what they want.  I am far more small government than most people that claim to be.

Oops, sorry I missed  a line.  I actually plan to buy an electric motorcycle.  I don't know a gear head alive that would not like to hear the words 'instant torque'.  I am not sold on cars.  I don't think that the grid can support a switch to full EV.  Plus, when you start talking about like apartment complexes, every car needs a charging spot?  IT's a lot of infrastructure.  

I went back and deleted the post because it seemed too confrontational.  Maybe I was worked up.  But you responded, and you deserve to hear what I would say.

Oh yeah, election fraud.  There was some small level.  AMazingly, the GQP committed some too.  The people that it is thier job to investigate it, said there was no wide spead election fraud.  Not enough to change the outcome of the election.  The people your guy appointed.  Do you not think he would have said there was?  Why wouldn't he?  Do you need a link to Barr, saying, under oath by the way, that there wasn't?

"election fraud.  There was some small level."

Sorry dude, but here in  GA we had 12 of the 14 metro Atlanta counties report over 100% voter turnout for 12 of the 14 counties. This was online voter records that lasted for about a week and it disappeared county by county online within 2 weeks where it got massaged  to look like it was close to what was on the books. There were multiple videos of re-running ballots on election night. The voter count in Fulton county jumped 300K votes in less than an hour - 800% more than what the Dominion counting machines were capable of counting. The election was stolen the past two elections in GA. 

There were about 131 million people who voted in the last election. Trump received 74 million votes, there were 2 million Libertarian votes, so how did Biden get 84 million votes when 55 million of the available 131 million were available? Wake up!

Back on topic: The wife's car had dropped to 18 mpg. It is not E-84 rated as it is a European turbo 4 that is suggested for 91 octane or greater. When it got to half a tank I put in a bottle of BG44K and topped it off with 93 octane Sonoco real gas. We drove a quarter of a tank around town where the trip computer had me at 24 mpg. We made a trip into the Western Carolinas for the past week where the mileage jumped to 37 mpg for the trip up there - 121 miles.  Around town up there was 23.5 and we made it back on the same tank at 38 mpg. I refueled with 93 octane Sonoco this afternoon.  I have a tank of the same crap fuel in the Ranger. It is just above a half tank and there are 81 miles on the trip meter. It should be almost twice that. The Ranger is driven less than 250 miles a month. It is getting the 93 octane Sonoco real gas next fill up.

My local GQP submitted a list of 'fraudulent' votes they wanted investigated.  2500.  I quit paying attention after the first 250 were are legit.  Seriously doubt they had even one.  When tRumps own guy whos actual job it was to investigate this kind of stuff says there was no large scale voter fraud, certainly not enough to sway any elections, I'll listen.  Arizona.  The GQP brought in their own hand picked company to investigate election fraud.  Even that company admitted there was none.  The pillow moron.  Had a convention promising 'real hard fact' about it.  Nothing.  He even turned some GQP members to the other party.  Our states primary.  The local western slope fraud nutbag that got charged for letting rando people access election equipment lost her primary.  Protested.  Wanted a recount.  Not close enough for the taxpayer to waste money on it.  Sol she paid a quarter million dollars for it.  She gained 13 votes.  13.  Best part?  Her opponent also gained 13, so the percentage she lost by was literally exactly the same.  There was no election fraud.  If some a**hole on a Q forum has proof, how did Barr miss it?  Or is it more deep state BS?  Yet to see ANY proof of large scale fraud.  Literally none.

I bet if there was any, it was in tRumps safe at Mar Lago...

HAAAA love it. Wait for it...... wait for it.....


I finally got gas with my Giant Eagle discount... filled 30 gallons of cans for 1.90 a gal. I had a huge amount off in perks.


So gas is down to about 3.49 a gallon in my area. Funny how I see praises to the government on mainstream social media for gas only being 67% higher than the Trump era because it is down from well over 4.25 a gallon. Praise Brandon!


Real fact: I attended Brandon High School no joke.

I just came to troll...

No point arguing the earth is round, or Bidens great, or that Chester the Cheeto lost...

Now days people search for the most obscure reporter to agree with what they want to believe or say what they want to hear....

As for gas prices.... no idea. Company provides me a truck and pays for the gas so I dont pay much attention...

My personal vehicles where bought and built for pleasure not economy so when I fill up I just put it on my card and dont bat an eye...

Awww I was hoping someone would start posting a left meme and I could put a right one for every left one!

And facts are not arguable, just some people have a higher tolerance for sin than others. It isn't about DT or someones level of TDS.

They will have to put a direct ban on older Rangers, I can see in 2099 a complete fleet of EV's roaming the new earth, but 10% of all Rangers built between 94 and 2011 will still be going.


In al seriousness if the EV takeover would have started 30 years ago with a plan it might have been a good thing. 1st year, .5% second year 1%... then it could have trickled down. The totalitarian dictator style implementation of this current plan is just that.... totalitarian and dictator..ish.

I REALLY cannot imagine how anyone could think this is ok but it pales by comparison compared to the southern border takeover. If we don't do something soon the weak and spineless country we are allowing will get absorbed by another entity. Right is wrong now, wrong is accepted and the people who know what is going on have been sheeped into silence. Sickening.

They will have to put a direct ban on older Rangers, I can see in 2099 a complete fleet of EV's roaming the new earth, but 10% of all Rangers built between 94 and 2011 will still be going.


In al seriousness if the EV takeover would have started 30 years ago with a plan it might have been a good thing. 1st year, .5% second year 1%... then it could have trickled down. The totalitarian dictator style implementation of this current plan is just that.... totalitarian and dictator..ish.

I REALLY cannot imagine how anyone could think this is ok but it pales by comparison compared to the southern border takeover. If we don't do something soon the weak and spineless country we are allowing will get absorbed by another entity. Right is wrong now, wrong is accepted and the people who know what is going on have been sheeped into silence. Sickening.

When you have the ultimate solution to the problem but remember you are a business account....

And no its not what you think but it is.. lol

IMHO electric is just a staging post - it will be overtaken with hydrogen fuelled cars - the grid just will not be able to cope with power demand if everyone plugs in their EV overnight!

Now they are saying that "intelligent" chargers will enable the power companies to use plugged in cars as batteries to supplement power demands - hey, boss I can't come in today cos my car's battery is flat .....

Or maybe that is the plan - make people work local so they can walk to work.

Filled the Rover up with diesel yesterday - £95 or $112 ....
