Paid $2.57 for 93 Shell last sunday - put $10 in my "garage queen" - didn't even get 4 gallons! Thank goodness for my old 1994 4WD 6cy Ranger that keeps plugging along!

Have been paying 2.50 for 91 for awhile now, up to 2.60 today. Didn't really notice the extra two bucks. Mine will still see the tank a week until it's winter.

It was 2.47 today here in northeast Houston, of course I don't have a L, I just have a regular F-150 which isn't the greatest economy car in the world, so I am paying .20 less for regular.

I thought you were a L. owner. One of our Halo members just picked up a 99
w/ 28K on the clock for 14,600. He got a screeming deal.

Oh wow! I wish I was an owner!!!! I am kind of in the market right now, but I am still young so it's not my total decision, its my dad, and because I am 18 and not independently wealthy it is up to him, but I still have to pay over time. Man, that deal is nuts! If one comes up like that again PM me!

$2.71 for 91 here, $100 or so a week. Just wont give up the L even for gas. Why buy a bad ass truck and let it sit in your garage?

My Lightning has been a garage queen for months now. I bought a '99 escort that gets 30-33 mpg it helps alot. and I live just a few miles from the starter of this thread, so my gas prices are the same as his.

Wait until Bush attacks Iran. Thank Bush for this mess. Lightning stays on the road though.



Don't balme BUSH, blame yourselves for continuing to buy gas at these outrageous prices! :fm:
