    Jeez a lou..
    Makes me feel old, but #2 was ~74 cents, & regular 87 octane was 98 cents a gallon when I started driving in '99..

    Makes me want to puke now every time I fuel up anything. Sad part is, there's plenty oil on this planet to go round, & the powers that be are just toying with us.. :mad:

    Follow up. That one I didn't want, I put the app in and talked to the guy. Drive test tomorrow, start 7/'5/2022 if (when) it goes well. Should be the typically boring kind of work I was trying to avoid, but it gives me money, exercise of some sort, seat time and...if he can swing it, more local flatbed work so I can at least work that back into my exercise routine. :) I talked to him last year before I had that bad gout attack and he's good people, so it won't be so bad, but I already let him know I can't guarantee long time, if I can get back into the OTR gig. :) But let's see how the money racks up...maybe I'll change miy mind, since it is hourly paid. :) Maybe I can save up for when/if truck and fuel prices come back into normal levels...I can buy my own. o_O

    99?! I have got to stop hanging out with these kids!
    .53 for premium when I started to drive off of the farm.

    UPS just delivered the rest of the brake parts for the KW so I'll get after it tomorrow and get her back on the road.
    I really, really (really) am not fond of inboard drums.

    Sad that the pump price of #2 wouldn't even cover the tax alone now in PA.

    I stopped at the only pump in town that has red fuel for the tractors- $6.10.
    Headed home the TomCat I fuel green at was $5.99.
    !#@$*$%&!!!!!!!
    Some days I think someone [points up] does stuff to me just for a laugh.

    Prices spiked some time after Desert Storm (92?) and the local Exxon was most expensive in town with premium at $1.45. I remember thinking that you'd have to be just plain crazy to pay that kind of money - over $20 to fill up? No thanks!
