Default Well, I won't be buying any gas for awhile

Decided to fill up last night just in case the prices went up drastically with Rita blowing through. Only cost me $270

I should be good for around 1400 miles till my next fill up though.

2 tanks. Primary holds 40 gallons, and secondary holds 50. As of right now I've been getting around 16.9 mpg.

Makes running homemade biodiesel, and voiding my warranty look pretty good. I could set up a tank at my house and produce the stuff for around .53 a gallon. Would only cost around $500 a year to fuel my beast. Filling up at the service stations would run me around $2400 a year. I think I could take care of fuel system problems I might have with the extra $1900 a year I'd be saving.

The hurricane missed houston, where most of the plants are. They do not plan on the gas prices going up really at all. SOOOO, we shall see if it works.

My motorhome as a 25, and 45 gallon tank, and filling that up... well, lets just say, I'm avoiding it at this point.

You could probably fit three of them...

Acura Integra. Good for two things. Gas mileage, and being called a "rice rocket."

I also have a 4 cylinder for the econo ride.

So far I'm pretty happy with the gas mileage of my new truck We'll see how it does once I get the wheel lift put on it. It will add roughly 1000lbs.

One things for sure, I don't plan on filling it up again for awhile. I just didn't want to wake up today and find out gas prices just jumped up another $1 per gallon. There's a few stations out here that are out of gas. Pretty strange considering I'm in the NW.

I worked it out and it costs us $2.50 for our fuel if you were to convert to gals and USD.

OUr regular unleaded fuel fluctuates around AUD$1.15-1.38 at the moment per litre.
