Can't do anything about it. So keep your chin up and live on.

Try filling up an F350 with a 40 gallon fuel tank. With the price of diesel, I pay a little over $140 to have it topped. Oh well..

I really enjoy driving the F350. I can actually drive through dips without having to worry about hitting something. And I get like 18mpg. It's all good.. I get 600 miles to a full tank

Needamonkey, I never seen someone reply to their own-self, but the modding never stops......

But yeah gas price definately sucks and I will definately jump back on the bike for commuting. I usually rack up about $100-120 a week in gas.

Us diesel owners have been paying more than that for at least a month already.
Get used to it, as supplies keep dwindling, it aint gonna get any cheaper.
