I personally am feeling the gas price hazing pretty bad. I commute over 100 miles a day. My atv hasn't had gas in it for about a month or so. Just wondering how everyone else is dealing with the gas prices and what ways are you finding to save money.


Got the mpg up to 21 from 16 just by driving 62mph instead of the usual 70.



Oh yeah and heres a big F U to the greedy oil companies....

I try to drive customers cars as much as possible for drivability and to verify repairs.

I also picked up a 4 banger nissan pickup for quad transport.

That is exactly why I bought a locking gas cap for $60.00 when gas hit 3.00 per gallon.

I would love to catch someone trying to steal gas.........

Just sucks that u cant get gas out of cars that way anymore. Now you gotta cut the fuel line and energize the fuel pump or poke a hole in the tank

These prices are killing me too,the silverado eats a bit when you got your foot in it .
Like you Shawn Im hunting for a cheap 4 cyl p/up to run around in.

yeah guys you can pick up older toyota's or nissan 4cyl pickups relatively cheap. just throw liability insurance on it and run the balls out of it. Mine gets 20mpg loaded on the highway and 24 around town unloaded. these trucks run forever. they even run well after the frame rots in half
