Not feeling so bad about California prices anymore, it’s $4.09 in Baja, thankful for my 38 gallon tank, only needed 1.5 fill ups down there.

Well after a few months anomaly here, gas is back to being higher priced than diesel. So all is right in my world again :)

 

Happy New Year folks !!!

Costco Fuel is our friend.

 

We always map out the Costco fuel stations for the long haul to our camping destinations.....

 

We even used a Costco fuel station in the UK....although not for the camper.

 

Happy New Canadian Year to you !

I’m of the opinion (based on conversations with a friend who is a Ford service mgr) that for vehicle maintenance/longevity, it’s better to go with name brand Fuel, rather than discount.  In particular, he suggested Chevron because of the Techron additive.  He recommended adding it to the tank if using other brands.

 

I sold an Expedition to a friend who then used the least expensive gas available.  When he had the spark plugs changed, a couple broke because of carbon build up.  The pieces were not recovered by the mechanic.  My friend then drove it and ended up needing a new engine.

Two weeks of wandering the backcountry of southern Arizona, the $2.45 price per gallon of unleaded regular added to the enjoyment. It was more than double that price ($5.10) in Shoshone, CA.
