dropping fuel prices
 
Thank God we finally getting a little relief at the pumps nowadays. Had a few stations around here yesterday posting $2.99/gal. It's a shame when when I feel a little relieved only paying ~$85 to filler' up. Hows everybody else making out?
knowing that Holiday season is around the corner I'm sure we'll see a huge increase by the end of the month.

You should see if there are any gas banks in your area. Prepay and lock in fuel prices.

Surely some kind of liberal ploy especially after a storm. When we get hit by a hurricane gas prices soar. Makes me wonder. Vote Mitt!!!!!!!!!!!!

$2.89 a gallon in Elsberry, MO yesterday at the Quick Stop. It's dropped 50 cents in one month in most MO locations.

prices over here work out at over $10 per gallon so count yourselves lucky.

Looks like Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are the places to be right now if you're looking to fill up:

I'm sure they will be going back up again now that the socialist has won the election. As well as unemployment, which magically went down drastically right before the election. Hopefully we can survive 4 more years of this ****. :violin:

This is only temporary. Now that f*ckface has been re-elected you can expect $5/gal gas to be the norm.

That map that Guru put up resembles the electorial map back on election day.
Looks to me like all the big democratic states pay the higher gas prices. Probably due to their higher state tax/gal. Complete morons... wonder when their gonna get it?

Lower oil and gas prices are signs of weak economy! :crying: This affects my traditional 401K, energy & oil stocks in my portfolio. Cheap fuel prices seem like the best idea on the outside, but once you take a good look from the inside it will make you think twice.;)

Out visiting the son and his family in Telluride, CO and I just paid $4.09 a gallon at the Shell yesterday on hwy145. My son tells me they bumped prices everywhere around here 30 cents a gallon for the Thanksgiving influx. I like Moab, but this is also definitely Hummer country too.

Just got back from FL. Arrived in FL at 1am, loaded up some furniture and left back to NC at 4am.

Just got back 12 hours later....

Paid 3.90'ish on average for diesel. Wouldn't have been bad but I was running around 80 mph pulling a 28' trailer.

Averaged 9-10 mpg (real mileage, not DIC)

Good luck on your sale :)

Thanks bud. I hate to sell it. The swap has been flawless. The guy that did the swap did an outstanding job but at the end of the day, the H2 is not conducive to towing.

It's not that it can't pull my 28 'trailer but with two razors, gas, etc, etc in it, a 2500 chassis or dually would tow better.

Hey OC--your last couple of posts really have me scratching my head on towing with a diesel in your deuce.
I've been towing a 30ft travel trailer weighed in around 6400-6600 pounds for local camping, and definately more when we drove cross country last year.
My average fuel consumption was 8mpg real world driving 50-55mph the entire distance; any faster and all my temps started going thru the roof.
The truck itself handled the towing duties well, drivetrain--esp. cooling system, just isn't suited to max. rated towing from my experience.
You said you don't feel the deuce is suited to towing, could it just be the SUT, or what has you feeling this way? Also, not sure how your diesel fuel economy at 80mph is comparable to mine at 50-55 in a gasser?
Doesn't really sound like a benefit (at least towing wise) to be had in going diesel? I know your performance without the trailer is impressive.
