[nascar03]

Ggg

Winning!
Langley, BC, 20180824.
$1.619. Chevron 94 octane for the '75 Corvette.

It's all in the timing...lol

I was in the used record store today and found a tape I had been looking for.
Led Zeppelin, The Song Remains The Same, part 1. (I already have part 2).
The guy says they are $5 each and you have to buy both tapes as a pair!
"Of Course"... I says. LOL

The other day I started to build a new pair of speakers so I went to the plywood store to get two sheets of ply.
The fellow there tells me that because of the recent fires in the BC Interior wood prices are 'stupid high'.
"Of Course!" I says!! LOL

So..the price of gas is just part of the game.
LOL

Does anybody know anyone who ever uses mid grade premium for anything??

I'm positive I've never used it ever. Does that selection even work? Or is it just a marketing bluff... lol
What kind of car uses "silver"?
"Ya... my car kind of needs premium so I use "Silver". It's kind of high performance and a little bit fast but not "gold" fast."

I used to run the mid grade esso in my 98 Dakota.

Ok Mike there's one. Why? Was there a fuel efficiency or recommendations in the manual reason or just a preference for you?
I'm honestly curious.

I found it pinged with the low grade. Mid was only a couple of cents more and I didn't want to pay the premium price.

That's a darn good reason and makes perfect sense Mike.
I live and learn.
Thanks

That was my logic back in the day.

Yeah...I figured the marketing ploy idea was a stretch but I honestly wasn't sure of the real reason either.. Guess they must sell enough to make it viable...

So what are you saying Mike.... You couldn't 'Dodge' a gas station?.... ... Last Mopar I had was a 72 340 4 spd Duster 43 years ago.... It was hard on gas too....and tires...

An old friend of mine used to drive truck and delivered fuel. He told me there is only 2 tanks at the stations, regular and premium. Midgrade is simply mixed 50-50 right at the pump. Still looking for a station that sells 100+ octane at the pump, a guy can only wish eh?

Back in Moncton NB,my uncle took me for a ride in his 72 340. I was 11 and still remember him lighting em up coming out of the Parlee Beach parking lot near Shediac. Lol. One of my most vivid memories.

Not real cheap but cheaper than us... that's just a hair over $1.05 per litre for 91 octane.... I'll take it!....lol....

Just thought I would freshen up this post with last week's gas price in Hope, BC. I hear they are working on a retrofit for cars to be able to burn fermented grapes instead....
