I just sold mine last week! Dealer bought it back for a crazy price.
Damn, I thought you loved that truck.
It was a great truck. I got offered 2k less than I paid for it 2 years ago, and put 37k miles on it. It was hard to turn that down. Going to enjoy the ranger and Bronco for now.
I am tempted to trade and get something a little better on mileage, but I love having a truck just in case and I love the Ranger. Actually the Ranger isn't bad on mileage, but gas prices will make you think... I too can get crazy money for mine and I have put 25K miles on it. Basically what I paid for it, I can get back, but right now I am sitting on 0% financing and that is hard to walk away from.
I really think it is. Did you hear Pete "Buttgig" yesterday? He basically said that gas prices would not be a concern for Americans if we just buy EVs. Never said how they would become more affordable. On Twitter a lot of lefties were claiming you can get an EV for $30K so why are we complaining. I say that I do not want to give up my nice vehicle with all the amenities, for a base a** Kia EV with no range and the size of a Focus. Damn commies.
I see nothing worth buying here that is supposedly a "cheap" EV:

I was up to 4 vehicles. 2020 F250 Tremor, 2020 Ranger XLT, 2010 Ranger Sport and 1996 Bronco. It made sense to let the Tremor go since I wasn't driving it much and I had so much equity in it.
The 2020 Ranger XLT isn't bad on gas mileage for a daily driver. Only slightly better than my 2010 that has a 4.0L in it.
I agree, this push to EV doesn't work for everyone. I'm on deer filled back country roads at 4:30 AM every day. I need something that can absorb a hit. Currently no EVs on the market that fit what I need (that aren't crazy $$$).
Goldman lifts oil price forecast to $135 for 2022, sees upside to $175
USO +3.66%Now!- In a note from Goldman Tuesday, Analyst Damien Courvalin discussed the impact to oil markets from the war in Ukraine; as a result, the bank increased its base-case 2022 oil price forecast to $135 from $98.
- "Given Russia's key role in global energy supply, the global economy could soon be faced with one of the largest energy supply shocks ever," wrote Damien.
- Goldman's base-case price forecast assumes 1.6mb/d of Russian oil is removed from the seaborne market.
- In the note, Goldman details a scenario whereby 2/3rds of Russian seaborne exports are removed from global markets, under the scenario Goldman estimates oil prices rise to $175 in 2022.
$5.09 /gallon for Shell Nitro in Hernando county the other day.
That's just their short-term "solution" to a long-term problem. Also, pretty standard diversion tactic. Gas prices are high? Let's not address the actual root causes. Rather, let's deflect and steer people toward our ultimate goal: EV.
The local Meijer store has probably 10 charging stations for Teslas in the back of their lot. A myriad of emotions run through me when I see people sitting in their cars playing on their phones while they charge their cars on a Saturday afternoon. I wonder if they need to schedule charging times and/or if they ever have to wait in line and fight over charging stations. Is it like a deli counter where you take a number and wait your turn? Do you need to get their at sunrise to improve your odds of getting a station? It all seems so counterintuitive to me while I take 5min to fill my tank and go about my day.
They won't purposefully limit them...but very well could run out of parts for them.
today's diesel quote is 4.80, retail that's gonna be over $5
I filled up my diesel F350 yesterday and I had to swipe my card 3x. I got a text alert for fraudulent activity coming from that gas station because citi didn’t believe fuel was that expensive. It was $219 to fill up at $5.70/g

Filled up the truck yesterday. It was $193. That's the most I've ever spent filling up any vehicle.
Your government is lying to you

Ouch. $219 to fill is crazy.
