I filled the tank of the S450 yesterday at Costco. I paid $305.9 a gallon for PUG.
Wow, that's expensive. $305.9 x 15 gallons gives $4588.5 per tank. I guess yall, So. Florida folks are really wealthy. Hate to see your milk prices... :laughing:
Dino, if I had to pay $4588.5 per tank, I would get a scooter, like a Vespa. Check your figure, Dino. I hope you have a good accountant!
It's 9:35 AM EST. At 12:00 noon the change over will be effected. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Since the change to Vanilla Forums 5 years ago, we haven't had the occasional freeze ups and lockouts that occurred in the previous platforms.
Let's all knock on wood for a seamless rollover. Remember email at help@edmunds.com if you have trouble.
I filled the tank of the S450 yesterday at Costco. I paid $305.9 a gallon for PUG. That price is about 20 cents a gallon cheaper than any gas station within 5 miles of where I live. I thought gasoline prices were dropping but I guess I was wrong.
Between higher gas prices, higher food prices, etc. I suspect inflation is increasing even with the rise in interest rates. I wonder if we’ll see higher prices on imported new cars and SUV’s. Much is dependent on the price of steel and aluminum as well as pending tariffs on imported cars. Time will tell.
You should move three hundred dollars a gallon is way to much. I just filled up for less than 1 percent of that.
That reminds me of a Candid Camera episode from (I looked it up) June 2000. We have an archived bit of the Report Your Local Gas Prices discussion that started in March of 2000. People were reporting like $1.40-$1.50 for RUG back then. The CC episode took place in northern NJ, and they set up a gas station with the sign reading something like:
People FLEW into the station to fill up, then the attendant would come over and say, "That'll be $42.50" and then explain to them that they switched to per quart pricing.

I'm surprised nobody got killed, but it was funny
In the 70s when they were trying to get people to go metric a gas station near my dad's house started to price its gas by the liter. It turned out to be about 15 to 20 cents a gallon more than any other place around.

I did, rechecked and again Three hundred bucks times 15 gallons is four and half grand. Your stated price was not per gallon, but per hundred gallons (as it should be), or you paid 3.059/gal.
BTW, I knew exactly what you meant, just making fun of it by nitpicking. Surprised you didn't catch it. Bad day?
Gasoline prices WERE dropping until about a month or two ago. Oil is pushing up again, who knows for how long this time.
I miss the old system where you had a complete list of different discussion boards that you could view. I used to a least lerk on many boards now I only go to C&C because the others are hard to get to.
Farmer, what I do, is bookmark anything else want to track. Then when you are logged in, on any thread, just hit “my bookmarks” and see your customized topics list.
Every so often I scroll through the full list of topics under news, etc. and if any are interesting I hit the bookmark symbol. And if I lose interest, I uncheck it.
Yeah, I don't know what a bookmark is or how to do it so that's a no go.

Inflation is killing wages for most Americans. There's more in their paychecks but it costs more to buy everything. So wages right now are on a negative curve.
And whenever fuel prices go up, it sucks huge amounts of money out of the economy.

Yep, Dino, just another day in paradise with old age ailments setting in.
Can’t wait to hear what my son has to say about the S450. He’ll probably say something like, “...if you can afford an S450, a check for a couple thousand dollars for your one an only “poor” son would be nice. Dad!” I would probably respond, “...would love to son, but I can’t afford it right now with these car payments on my back!”
I’ll give him the money anyway - he definitely needs the financial help - he works from 5:00 AM to 4:30 PM every day and has private clients some evenings and weekends. Thank God for the scholarship for my older grandson for college.

At the top of this page, next to the name of the thread, is a star. Either white or yellow. Tap it to make yellow. This means it is bookmarked.
On the far right side of page, at the top also, is the box with your user name, avatar, etc. in there, one link is to “my bookmarks”. Click that, and you get a list of every thread you bookmarked (yellow star). Any thread you are in, or on home page, can always hit he my bookmark link and find your list. Just have to hit the star in every thread you want to have quick access to.
