I feel for you loss. Me, I'm like the others. Need my truck and now doing my biz full time need it more than ever. I may not drive it as much for just joy riding but when it's related to the biz we're gone.

Who said add two stroke oil to your gas? That's funny!! I could imagine, "watch this thing smoke!!" LOL

 

I really feel for you foks that have a diesel and are contemplating getting rid of it. It did, regretted it and bought my truck back. Now I can get back to bombing it.
Not to rub it in, but an article in todays news is an indication why I bought it back:

SAN DIEGO - If there's pain at the pump in the U.S., Mexico may just have a remedy. A gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in San Diego retails for an average price of $4.61 a gallon. A few miles south, in Tijuana, it's about $2.54 — even less if you pay in pesos.

More and more people appear to be taking advantage of the lower price.
"I used to buy exclusively in the U.S. before gas started really going up," said Patrick Garcia, a drama teacher at an elementary school in San Diego who lives in Tijuana. "Since then, I've been buying all my gas in Tijuana."

The lower prices mean a U.S. motorist could save almost $54 filling up a two-year-old Ford F150 pickup with a 26-gallon fuel tank in Mexico.

The differential in diesel is even greater, selling at $5.04 a gallon in San Diego County and $2.20 in Tijuana.

Paul Covarrubias, 26, who lives in Chula Vista and works in construction in San Diego, crosses the border each week just to refuel his dual-cab Ford F-250 pickup.

"I fill it up with diesel in Tijuana for $60," he said. "It would be almost twice that in San Diego."

Gas is cheaper in Mexico because of a government subsidy intended to keep inflationary forces in check.

Still, international gas-buying trips don't make sense for everyone. The wait getting back into the U.S. at the border in Tijuana frequently takes longer than two hours and cars can burn about a gallon of gas for each hour they idle.

 

LOL

Everytime my wife sees a junk gasser smoking she says "oh look! they must have a chip"

 

Yea, up here, when I go to fill up, its almost $200.00 for the truck and another $50.00 for gas for my power equipment. So just under $250 a week for me. But its all work related so its a write off, but man it REALLY cuts into the bottom line. And people wonder why my rates have gone up...
