Well I'm with you Russ... :thumb1: I done a step more... As for electricity I got the inverter, batteries, solar, pelton wheel, etc... I must live within 30 amps of load. I've got no choice. We intenially set the limit on the inverter so we would cut back on power useage and love it. As for the vehicles I'm notices my fuel logs getting wider and wider time spans between fuel. 3-4 weeks before I get fuel for the Cummins. Then 2-3 months before I get fuel for the 96 Dodge gasser. But I keep looking for the way now to do more in a single run. Like friends of mine here we are getting trailers built up. I might get a 1 ton axle for my 8x8 trailer allowing me to haul closer to 2 cords on the trailer and 1 cord on the truck. My friend is also converting to a Dodge Cummins as a matter of fact he's buying Taz's turck (1 ton 2WD 92 Dodge Cummins). Both families need roughly 12-15 cords of wood and we are now looking to get as much wood in a single run.

That's a good idea! I'm contemplating on getting my honda running -- get that little VTEC roaring again. Fills up with like $30-40, which is way better than filling up a 34 gallon fuel tank at 4.099/Gal.

I just got my truck back from the shop. They did get it running & installed the AD150, big line & pickup. They told me they put 4 gallons in it (I think they scored 10 gallons on me when they dropped the tank). I took it to nearest fuel station & put in 32.5 gallons at $4.13 Had to swipe my CC twice to fill it. I used 2 containers of the TCW3 oil (I refill them a bit under a quart which is right for a typical fill up). I reset the overhead which has been right on. If flopping around a bit but seems to be indicating 18 (swings 17.8 to 18.2). Dang, that's as good as I get in the summer on highway! Does the AD 150 improve mpgs?

Double post but just in case some one doesn't read the other thread here it is again.

Hold onto your wallets because its going to be interesting from here on out.

New Meadows, ID - $4.459Riggins, ID - $4.439McCall, ID - $4.479 I think winter fuel is over up here and the smoke color on my exhaust is changing... I'm also starting to se a gain in MPG's...

Prices are crazy here. I've seen 4.11 (4.15, 4.25) to 4.29 on the same day. I bought gas for the Cirrus... trying to keep it in the top 1/4. I bought reg gas at 3.69, 3.71 across the street! Just crazy! I've cut my driving by half or more. These run away prices are sucking any income gains out of the economy.

I paid $4.199 on Friday and Sunday.... :banghead:

as of 8.30 am this mornning diesel is 1.50 a liter$ 6.75 a gallon

Put $140 in my truck this morning and it wasn't even empty :spend:. I think they need to take all the oil exectutives, all gov't people letting the oil companies rule the pricing, and put them on an island way out in the middle of the ocean. Then tell all the United nations there are terrorists on that island that have been stealing from the rest of the world and trying to take it over...then blow it up like they do every other country, because that's exactly what they are dong..stealing from the rest of the people. And we sit like little puppets that can't do a damn thing about it :mad:
