I feel your pain. Same with my kid's Jetta VR6. However, he must understand this better than I did at 16 because he texted yesterday and said "Dad I'm getting 25-26 MPG average" lol. That was a proud dad moment.Price of regular was up this morning, but the Mustang "requires" premium. It was already ridiculous before all this, so who cares about $3 a gallon?
We lost everything to Andrew except what we were able to load into our geo storm (lol, yeah I know it was the last "car" I ever bought for a reason). We evacuated to ormand beach and had some fantastic surfing. That was until the 18' tiger shark decided to come check us out... Then it was "SEE YA!"
The top of the NHC wind speed monitor was ripped off around 150mph IIRC. Still, Andrew was a tiny storm compared to this one and Katrina. Hit the most vunerable part of So. FL for effect though. I remember just driving thru on the way to the keys and just seeing rubble everywhere. Looked like SyriaI don't think many who lived through and survived Andrew will ever forget that storm. I remember seeing aerial pictures of Homestead. It looked like Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped.
Indeed it did.I don't think many who lived through and survived Andrew will ever forget that storm. I remember seeing aerial pictures of Homestead. It looked like Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped.
since the pipeline is shut off, it will happen faster. And of course it will happen in Charlotte faster than outlying areas. Good SHTF simulation IMO.Like last time, there won't be an issue until or unless panic buying sets in and exacerbates the situation.
up from 2.35 yesterday.....$2.59 - $2.63 is what I'm seeing in Clt this morning.
How many gallons and where do you get them?I had one of these and it was empty when the local stations ran out of gas last time.

Lesson learned. Today I have two of them and they are both full.
it's already jumped about 20 cents
14 gallons and I got mine from Amazon. I'll check at lunch, but I think they are called Flomax or something along those lines.How many gallons and where do you get them?
Update: Saudi Aramco's refinery is expected to be shut in for 2 weeks.Exxon and Saudi Aramco have the largest refining plants in the country and both are shut in as of today.
How many gallons and where do you get them?
I hope you don't think I was making light of hurricane damage or mocking those who lose any/every thing to them. Quite the contrary. I know the force of them and know they are deadly. It's the lack of response and proper preparation for them that pisses me off. You had the foresight to cram into a Geo Storm and get the crap outta Dodge! I sat in Central Florida and observed quite a nice day that morning from my school bus stop--it was weird and I remember it still today.We lost everything to Andrew except what we were able to load into our geo storm (lol, yeah I know it was the last "car" I ever bought for a reason).

They actually give away alot of octane in regular gas since its by far the most by volume. 87 is a minimum...$2.19 for Premium at Costco. They were having an issue with their regular pumps...So they sold premium for the price of regular!

There's a video of a woman that got a CNN mic shoved in her face just as she came walking into a refuge center in Houston, where she blows up at the reporter...and rightfully so. But in her "interview" before she blows up, she goes on a story about how she waited for days for the police to come get her. I'm thinking: I'll be dog-gone'ed if I put the well-being of myself and my family (she had two or three kids in tow) in the hands of others. I know, I know...most of us here on this forum are of a different cloth than the average sheep.
But but but the Po Po gonna save us, only to kill us later. Aint that what everyone was BLMing about last year?Not at all. Was just adding on to your statement because I totally agree. If you see the finger of God coming directly at you... LEAVE
I had four, then moved, and parted with them (and lots of other stuff). Bought two more this morning.
You find it when a Cat 4 hurricane has you targeted.Not everyone can leave. Some don't have cars or enough money.
Yup. Shrewd is the one that sees calamity coming and conceals themselves.Always a sad situation regarding that.
Unfortunately, in every situation, someone will always be on the short end of the stick.
Fuel injection doesnt have many issues with old gas. Its the carbed engines that crap out on it. I would add some more stabil to it and let er eatMy local out in the country was 2.50 when I passed a few minutes ago.... Lol glad my tank is full.
On a side note I drive a 2014 optima. I have 5 gallons that is 8 months old, was treated with stabilizer. Smells normal. Would I be good to put into my car?

Their shipping sucks, and they're from canadaIf you ever need spare gaskets/flanges/caps or any other parts, these folks have the best prices I've found...
