Hydrogen Safer? Ever hear of the Hindenburg?

Regular Gas here is under 4.00/gallon (Davison MI)
3.19 I believe (Source observation and I just checked Gas Buddy)

Diesel is still OUCH at 5.09 around the corner from me and 5.19 to 5.29 most every where else.

The other day I finished off my Christmas Shopping Fuel Points (I gave a bunch of gift cards cause mailing packages is EXPENSIVE) (Kroger gives 4x fuel points and well they add up) I paid 1.999

And the price has dropped since.

Put in for our electric Blazer and the waiting begins. The government is taking a positive step toward the grid and refuel stations, I am ready. California looks toward liquid hydrogen which is even cheaper and safe.

Do you have/use the TSD diesel fuel discount program? Saves a great deal of money and allows you to swipe the card at the pump and drive away when you are done. Great plan and costs you nothing!

here is data from a 3300 mile 300 gallon diesel trip in a 2003 chev dually duramax all stock with a 2023 bigfoot 10.4 TC that just did. Nov 2022 Colorado to Ohio.
11 mpg average on trip computer, paper calc was 10.98 mpg. This is doing 5 over on interstates so quite a bit of 80 mph. windy one day for 6 hours. fuel was cheapest in colorado
CO high $4 to $5.40
Nebraska similar
Iowa and Wi $5.25 to $5.60
ILL, IN, Ohio $5.40 to $5.88

all were an avg of $1.75 more than lo grade unleaded.

The big truck stops Flying J and Loves were the highest cost by a lot and i found Phillip stations and BPs that were not large truck stops right next to the big boys that were $0.30 or more cheaper. THis high cost is hurting my retiring plan.

I had two PSD Excursions (7.4 & 6.0) from 2000 to 2007 and I am glad I switched to my 8.1 Chevy 3500 van in March 2008 since diesel is now almost $3 more than reg gas in some places here in NJ.

Love the extra mileage

[tomman58]

Left the TT in Florida, went from 9 mpg to 22. 68mph to 80 mph. Now I can yell at the other folks and their TT, Mh, fivers for going slow and forcing the Truckers into my high speed lane so they can pass the TT etc.......

Have a good trip home folks and hope the pesky virus goes away .

I filled up a couple 5gallon cans for my yard equipment today at $6.29 a gallon for midgrade. Ouch!

I always quit there and move on. If they don't trust me more than that I am not going to make any extra effort either.

Because driving to another station to finish topping off is far easier than swiping another credit card in the reader... 😉

$100 is still 2 to 3 hours of fuel and then I am ready to stop again. Does not really cut into my day.
Last time I was on the way home and arrived with half tank. Did not need the extra hassle.

If only that could happen down here. They keep the dollar limit the same regardless of how much less fuel you get when prices rise.

That limit is set by the card issuer / bank in most if not all cases. Apu and Sanjey Nahasapeemapetilon down at the Kwik-E-Mart have no interest whatsoever in cutting you off at 100 bucks.

$3.69 diesel at most places here in central OH. I locked in 7500 gallons of dyed off road earlier this week for $3.09. That's @ 38% higher than last March. But folks may want to worry more about food prices. I can see $8.00 gallons of milk and $6.00+ loaves of store brand bread to be in your supermarket future. Our dairy cows dont eat sunshine nor are they wind-powered. Don't even get me started on the fertilizer prices up 200% to 400% depending on the flavor and the shortages.

Diesel $4.989 today in Palm Desert, CA
