Why is Biden traveling 6500+ miles to discuss increasing oil production with the Saudis?

He should be meeting with American producers in Texas, Oklahoma, and more states at home.

We have the energy here!

I'm paying over $70 to fill up, which I do at no less than 1/4 tank.  Not happy. 

Shame on you.  Next time only fill 1/8th of the tank.

I try and fill up at half a tank.  Not saving any money, but I'm not nearly as angry when I fill up.   :)

Doesn't feel lucky.  I know they are gouging people in California, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

That's crazy.  We're headed towards $6 a gallon here.  And despite that, Hawaii is one of two states in the country where Biden has a positive approval rating.   ::)

I have to use the pump twice to fill up my truck because a lot of service pumps stop at $100. ;D

F150

They vary from 26-36 gallons depending on the model.

I was running E85 for a while, but after i did a cost analysis it's actually cheaper to use regular octane due to E85 decreasing your MPG. I was losing 4-5 MPG on E85, which negated the cost difference. Plus E85 is hard to find.

Wow.  Didn't realize the tank is so big.  Plus you must be getting about 10 mpg?

It gets 16/20.

It has the 5.0 V8 which seems to have decent mileage if you drive it easy. I had a 2013 F150 with the V6 Ecoboost, but it had so many problems i traded it for a V8. They get around the same mileage until you haul something, the Ecoboost gets much better mileage towing due to the twin turbos and small displacement engine.

I can get 22-23 on the highway if i go 60-65 mph, but i never do. ;D

Now if i'm hauling a trailer it gets around 12.

We use my GF's Hyundai when we go out of town, which gets 35 on the freeway. Since we go out of town almost every weekend, i'm glad she has a car with good MPG.

Annoying as shit. Resliding your card and topping off after $100 is like going inside to get your receipt. ;D

That's great gas mileage for a big ride like that.
