$2.00 a gallon?

What the........$2.00 a gallon for regular

I usually don't pay attention to gas prices, but when I have to fill up the F150 twice a week, sometimes 3 that adds up fast.

$2.35 for premium and I have to run that in the Mustang.

I don't even want to know what the 98 octane by the track is going for.

I hear that man. I love driving the truck, so much more now that I put a 2 chamber flowmaster on it

I guess mine's just a bit more thirsty being that it's a 306

Well, and I do gt on it pretty good

I think it will ease up in the next month or so. OPEC is voting to raise production by .5 million barrels. And the US legislature is voting soon on whether to open ANWR (Alaska) to drilling for more of our own oil.

Stay calm...be brave...wait for the signs!

I haven't heard of any plans for a hybrid F150 yet, but how long can it be? Probably something like a hydrogen fuel cell or something, once they get more hydrogen retailers out here.

Thanks,
John

You can say I'm on crack, but I thought of trading in my wife's Xterra for the Escape Hybrid.

We drive the Xterra on all our long trips so it kind of made sense.

That must have been the day I fell and bumped my head.

I get that "My Ford" news letter every so often and there was an article about it.

I was pretty impressed by the mpg's they got out of it.

I do love these trucks, but man, I do hate the gas prices that come with them! If it can go down to at least 1.50 again if not lower, I'd be very happy

With mine I have to put 89 in it, sometimes 93 for it to run good.

The guy I bought it from dropped a FRPP crate motor in it. The compression ratio is probably way different than a stock motor.

I kind of knew what I was getting into but the truck was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up.

13 year old truck with 100xxx miles and a pretty new motor

Question High gasprices

These gasprices must have some effect on sales of gasguzzlers read Ford F_Series.
Is it already showing or is Ford still selling a ton of them.

Today's gasprices.

90 $6.49/US Gallon
93 $6,76/US Gallon
