Post Four-Cylinder Triton Needed!

Holy esters of slimy silt, Batman! These gas prices are getting scarey.

Does anyone know how to disconnect a few gas-squirters on my 5.4?

I just stopped by the wattering hole and it's $2.14 for Premium and $1.95 for the weak-stuff! -- And that's an OFF Brand.

Michigan is not usually a hard place to market gas -- but the guy who prices it must have recently moved here from California or Chicago.

What's the bad news in your area?

Jim in Kalamazooooooooooooooooo

You can! Just drain all your radiator fluid and voiloi! You have an air cooled four cylinder.

It's $2.02 / gal for the cheap stuff where I live. I drive 7 miles to the next county and it's $1.79 / gal. I think I saw a Yamaha for sale in the paper, hmmmmm (50 mpg?).

hmustang - my family is from there. I'm trying to move that way myself real soon. I grow tired of this city. Cities in general. Plus, the land there is so cheap. I can double what I have here for the same price!

In Ottawa, Canada, our dear nation's capital, pump-yourself regular is 75 cents per litre, about $3.50 a Canadian gallon or about $3.00 a US gallon.

The more the price goes up, I more I love my 4.2.

My third F-series: '73 F-100 Custom 240-cube 3-speed, '98 F-150 XL-SC 4.2 5-speed, and '00 F-150 XLT-SC 4.2 5-speed. GREAT trucks!
