When I fill up it's over $80 these days :-\
:thumbdn: That sucks. In my truck it is usually $54 or so.

I have a 35 gallon tank and a 496 big block V8
I have a 3.7 litre V6. My main reason for getting a truck is that some of the parking lots we have to park in have bumps, potholes and other shit that make a truck suspension more desirable than my little Grand Am had.

I carry up to a ton regularly  in the bed and tow a trailer.  I have had over 3000 lbs in the bed before a few times :o
I bet that makes it sag.

Yeah but it wreaked my last truck.  My brother has broken leaf springs doing it

Gas

Or was it Diesel :zoinks:

lol

It was gas becasue I can't get a small diesel truck in this country.
But I just found out yesterday the Mahindra got EPA certification to sell their trucks here........maybe other established truck makers will follow and offer a diesel

Ouch. I guess that partly accounts for the popularity of mopeds/vespas in Europe. Here in the states the "coolest" two wheeled vehicle is considered by many to be a Harley. If I had a full sized bike I would want a reliable modern engine rather than a cool noise. Of course you will never see me wear a Support Your Local Red And White sticker or shirt either.

The past year, one of the branches that does well, because of the crisis, is the bicycle trade. Even in our tiny village we have one now. Bicycles are booming business, not using any fuel at all, and saving on the costs for the gym in the mean time too.

About 500GB, my sister couldn't use her card on amazon for some reason, so I had to use mine, she's obviously going to pay me back though.
But isn't 2x 2TB pretty pricey?

Bicycles are a good idea.

Yup, it hurts every time I need fuel. I've never been interested in anything two-wheeled myself but I can sort of understand the attraction.
