TheGreatBuzz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 So an issue that I didn’t expect, though I guess it makes sense when you think about it. I need to get an oil change on my diesel truck and I had to call around to 3 different places just to find one that even had oil in stock. I wasn’t aware there was an oil shortage. And we won’t discuss how much an oil change costs me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m pretty sure you are too far away for the savings to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Most of us lived through 2007 to 2009. I am truly happy to have teenagers with awareness rather than babies. 15 years and we still lack real, true, solid leadership in America. One day there's going to be someone who rises from all this and becomes the next "FDR-like" figure. I am not talking about policy wise, but the type of true character, honesty and transparency that speaks to a large majority of people (rather than the Trump BS). Someone who will make America think "we should change the Constitution to give this man 3 terms". Our country is now being run on autopilot by the Bezos', Walton, Zuckerburg (type of) ultra wealthy class of megalomaniacs who think Americans exist to have every penny squeezed from our pockets and every ounce of energy given to making them richer. Our politicians are happy to cater to this class becauae we have no energy to fight. We can't avoid their influence across the entire sphere of American life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Ugh I'm an idiot. I donated my gas guzzling van back in 2005 cuz of $4+ gas. Then drove a Volvo v70 for fifteen years. Now of course I own another gas guzzling Chevy. 🤦 And Shaqs advice of putting $20 in the tank to get it back to full isn't working dammit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I had a quarter tank full and wanted to top off because of a trip this weekend. It cost me $200 to fill the remaining 3/4 of the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t expect the cost of my fuel to double in less than two years. Whatever, my vehicle lets me have a lifestyle that is cheaper, more enjoyable, and greener than traditional living. Just sucks seeing that amount at the pump. Wasn’t looking for pity. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
