Election year, people are stupid and can’t remember last month…

Yeah, that's given, it's been roughly 30 years since diesel was cheaper than gas, by a large margin cheaper

Went to summit racing Saturday morning saw this guy outside. Looked.like a fun little FWD toy.

Looking at the last picture with the truck in the background I wouldn't get in that thing. You're instantly dead from a side impact let alone any other angle.

I'm not so sure there would be any impact. Looks like it would fit neatly between the wheels and slip right under the truck

I believe Evel Kneivel would approve.

@malibu795 That Summit parking lot is miniature! The one in Arlington is just under Walmart size

Tallmadge Ohio in Summit county, original headquarters iirc..

Diesel is still 30 cents higher in my area. Fuel prices will creep up once the kids are out of school and everyone starts vacation travel

 

[Pure Diesel]

My location in socal I've got a few Diesel stations that have gone down while gas has gone up. Tomorrow I'll fill up at 4.63/gallon where gas is $5.

Still able to buy fuel in Cali? Thought they had an oil ban or some shiz

3.69 for diesel, 3.39 for 87 octane gas here. I have some $5-6 fuel receipts but that was 2022

Diesel fuel in SoCal for me is still 5.79. I’m sure more towards the city of La it’s around 6.50

 

[N2BRK]

A search on Gas Buddy shows me $3.23 for regular is the cheapest locally, and $3.59 for diesel. (SW NJ)

 

[2004LB7]

NorCal, I'm seeing 5.20 average for diesel. Can be had for around 5.09 if you shop around. Some places are as high as 5.79

Gas is about 30-40 cents cheaper it seems. But I don't pay too much attention to those prices

 

[68ss]

In South Georgia diesel is 3.30 a gallon

 

[TheBac]

Hell, Im screwed no matter what car I drive. Premium or Diesel, its all over $4.50/gal here. I know -- Ive got nobody to blame but myself. I like performance cars. The only vehicle I have that uses 87 is my zero-turn.

 

[malibu795]

87 and diesel is floating around $3.60 outside Springfield Ohio. Some places diesel is 3.80-3.90 this morning.



Another reason why I don't want a high compression 408 either, I don't want to pigeon hole my self,

 

[Dm23]

I don’t remember the last time any gas or diesel was in the 3’s here.
