The other nice thing about the Ford 5.0 liter is that they took a superchharger, forced a little air into it and raised the specs to 473 lb-ft (641 nm) with 605 horsepower. Still 26 mpg...

Just got to love American muscle

I know I sure do. I'm currently driving a Mustang. Its not the new 5.0, but my 4.6 gets me around town pretty quick.

Up 6 cents from 8 am to 6 pm at the stations by my office.

Shenanigans call for shillelaghs!

We have gas price regulations here that mean gas prices only increase every Friday. The price can drop but not increase. I shudder to think of what its going up to this week. One thing for sure, I'm going to fill my Jeep before the weekend.

Must be nice DEF. I have literally driven past the gas station on the way to the market and on the way back gas was up a few cent's, 5 or so if I remember correctly. I believe gas went up by the next morning as well.

Price just shot up to equivalent of $5.5/gallon this morning.

I just put $70 in my Jeep and it only went up to about 3/4 of a tank. It wasn't empty but the light was on and the needle was in the red.

Yeah eh? I'm thinking about getting rid of mine, the price at pump is too painful.

My work ride filled up the other day, 71 Euros to fill the tank... that's about $93 CDN. His car is a 2006 Opel Signum

Gas was $4.47 a gallon yesterday. Can't wait to see what its at when I go out today.

Having something smaller and lighter fall apart under me because I've taken it through a trailer yard one too many times is even more painful.

My boss has traded in his 2008 Lincoln Mark LT for a new Dodge Longhorn, largely because the cylinder management system of the 5.7L Hemi means he can operate on 4 cylinders most of the time.

cost me £44.43 to fill up my little 1.3 from empty to full earlier, hurt my wallet alot

Threeme2189 · **Reply #44 on:** March 01, 2012, 11:31:24 PM

I don't get what you're so upset about.
Tomorrow the gas price here is going up to about $8 a gallon, which oddly is 8 ILS per litre.
It's a good thing I can ride my bike to work.
GRRRRRRrrrrr!

derekmac · **Reply #45 on:** March 01, 2012, 11:34:44 PM

It put $80 (60L) in the Grand Cherokee today, that filled it from 1/4 tank. Gas is going up 2.5 cents tomorrow I think.

There's no where near enough storage for multitools in that though, and I doubt the suspension would be up to the job

Maybe a converted canal boat would be better...

It would need to be a decent size though, maybe something like ... I don't know ... a 50ft-trad

You know what they say- you can live in a car but you can't drive a house.

So what I hear you saying is that you have 50 foot boat to store your collection?

(BTW, if you Google 50ft-trad in the States, your forum ID comes up before any boats do

)

Work in progress mate, one of many projects that's not going as fast as it should be. It's only taken me 12 years to get her half fitted out, so not TOO bad I suppose

It depends on how many people you want to fit in.....

Lmao, no sooner do I post in here, and he (my coworker) trades the Opel in for a 2008 Nissan X-Trail... to be fair he's been 4x4 hunting for some time now... but finally took the leap.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #55 on:** March 02, 2012, 06:53:20 PM

Good timing! He must be reading here and thought he'd mess up your comments!

Poor him. The X-Trail has to be one of the worst cars I've ever driven!
