Bill, I found the cheapest gas in Little Rock. OK has the second cheapest and still cheaper than CA anyday.

I still buy 100% gas (no alchohol) which adds about $.20 on regular. According to this web site CO and WY are the cheapest.

I got to say, Betty Boop loved that 100% gasoline. She was giving me 26 MPG and that is her best ever.

That also might be because our roads are so bumpy that your tires are actually only making contact to the road about 60% of the time.

No, the second i refueled in TX it was back to 22 MPG.

Today I was driving The Ghost like I stole it, up hills and it gave me 19.5 MPG. There is something wrong with BB drive train. 22 MPG using cruise control... No way.

Paid $3.49 for regular at a station about 10 miles from where I got the premium yesterday. $3.65 for premium at this station. Don't I feel foolish.

I went by a Shell Station by Costco yesterday and they had signs up all over the place that they were out of gas! It only showed a price for regular, so I guess they ran out before that with Premium.

Previous truck:



2010 GMC 2500 6.0L Gas

12.3 MPG (what I averaged over 27,000 miles)

20,000 miles/year (my average) @ $3.99/gallon = $6487.80

New truck:



2012 GMC 3500 Denali HD 6.6L Turbo diesel

17.1 MPG (what I have seen so far)

20,000 miles/year @ $3.92/gallon = $4584.79


Not too shabby considering it weighs ~2,000lbs more and can tow a f**king house!

Although I do admit that I absolutely LOVED that silver truck.
