I did a little calculatin' and it looks like at the current rate of change, when I pay off my last truck payment, I can look forward to paying $151.87 a gallon
($5163.58 per tankful)
1 truck payment would equal 4.91 gallons
Bastiches when will it stop? I'm going to try some Lucas fuel additive next time I go by the store. Anybody have any luck with that stuff.

wazz_zup ,

I use Lucas in my truck and when I use it I do see and increase in fuel mileage. The first time you use it add 14-16 oz to a full tank and then if you can drive it for at least 3 hours to clean out the carbon and your injectors. After that you only need to add 3 oz per 12 gallons. BTW its cheaper and more cost affective if you buy it a gallon at a time or if you have the $$$ some places give a price break if you buy 4 gallons at a time.

I gotta try it out before I buy that much. But I agree with the idea of buying by the gallons. Should work in the Civic also, right?

Just got back from a trip to Baja and Pemex diesel was going for $2.15/gal. Wish I had that 60 gal tank.
Prices here in Santa Barbara ... $4.97/gal.

I use it in my wifes car several times a month and it does help to restore lost fuel mileage. Being I also use it in her car & my truck is why I buy it a gallon at a time so that it's cost affective to use.

It's pretty sick that we're catching up to the european countries, and we get taxed about 400% less than they do.
