Fuel prices

When I was a young 13-year-old boy, I long admired a 1960 Mercedes Benz 190D The old model would achieve 24 miles to the gallon of #2 Diesel fuel. (That was 1968.) For years Mercedes Bens acknowledged the lower cost of the petroleum fuel product in their magazine advertisements.
 
Hi,

Today here in Wisconsin I'm paying between $4.09 and $4.39, depending on where I trade.

There has been a Democrat governor and State Supreme Court with the state houses controlled by Republicans. We'll see how much that changes after Nov 3.

Thank you for your indulgence,

I saw a story on the news last night about a residential cruise ship. This is where people just live on the ship as it cruises all over the world. Anyway, they docked in Cambodia and kicked everybody off. They say they can't afford the fuel anymore.

Lawsuits will be flying now!

gotta be more than fuel as a "no more" money issue....

like wages, foods, taxes, insurance, etc, etc.
 
Yesterday, I paid $5.04.9 for Premium Unleaded Gasoline at a new Marathon station in Forest Grove, Oregon. (It has a little more than 80k on the clock, so putting low-quality fuel in my 2000 Jaguar XK8 isn't a viable option.)

Have you considered 89 octane? That is what I run inmy 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. Over 200,000 miles on the clock. Only issues were normal wear and tear of a vehicle. I know, not a Jaguar. BUT, 89 is the best of both worlds, as far as my vehicle. I also have to use non-Ethanol, which is 89, due to the Ethanol causing issues with my EGR.

Hey, these people bought into a "timeshare" without thinking of the consequences and all the factors that go into ship maintenance, upkeep, fueling, food supplies, etc. A fool and their money.........

I appreciate the sentiment, but I prefer to protect the old machine. (I have put well over $13,000.00 into a machine I purchased for $4000.00) It is worth the extra 10 cents per gallon to reduce the wear on the engine.

You have to pay to play. It is worth it.
