I’m lucky to have a company Silverado 2500 that I’m able to drive as my own, so gas isn’t a huge deal for us right now. My wife lives 2 minutes from work so easy there as well. I’m not planning to drive the new Camaro much at all until I can get some 3M paint protection on it to keep the rock chips at bay on the still very immaculate paint.

American companies/foreign investors are hesitant to build out because OPEC an open the taps, flood the market, and lower prices to the point our exports would not be profitable. Bust cycle results. OPEC cuts the taps again. Boom cycle results. Extraction is a roller coaster because of that and new developments are risky. My personal opinion is we'll be using existing infrastructure to as near max capacity as maintenance schedules will allow, which is why I see midstream companies as so investable at the moment. They are largely sheltered from the boom/bust cycle, are a great inflation hedge, and strong dividend providers. Just my opinion, and one from an investing standpoint and not a boots on the ground standpoint, but I'm pretty happy with my returns. |

Y’all are focused on the wrong, shiny thing. None of your petty gas, food, and energy problems mean a thing to them. It’s, “That Insurrection Show” that matters. Orange Man still haunts them and must be stopped at all costs. I’m not sure how $8 gas will make that happen but I’m sure they have a plan.

As chibi said too it's taken out only occasionally for enjoyment and to upkeep so the gas doesn't go stale and lube circulation and tire flatspot avoidance. I have other cars I drive daily and add E85, a few gallons to the fillup, like 1/8th tank up to 1/4 tank when I feel like going out to the E85 station. I just put in 4gal in my Murano to top it up and a couple gal in the Civic. $4.45 for E85, $6.40 for premium. |

Took my Bandit to a car show last weekend, and it was $80 for 15 Gallons of Premium. But took 1st Place for "GM Street Machine", so that "Bowling Trophy" was expensive this year.
So What. Been putting off filling up the Camaro, as that is another $80 or so. |

Somehow averaging 17-18 mpg per tank while running pump e85. Cruise control everywhere i can safely use it helps a good bit lol its 4/gal compared to 93 coming in between 5.25-5.50/gal so there is some savings
