My favorite gas station has Ethanol free 91 octane my little car likes but they went from $3.16 to 3.30 today. Diesel is all over the place price wise but my little Kubota doesn’t need much.

Jeez; I thought I was getting a bargain at $1.25CDN. per litre or $5.00 per gal. which is app. $3.55 U.S. per gal. Why should life be so complicated. It only cost Me $450.00U.S. or $630.00 CDN. to get to Cody and home. It cost a whole lot more while I was there how ever.Smile

I spent $470 (U.S.D.) for the fuel on my 2,000-mile round trip from Kingston WA to Cody WY.  Filling the up the 40-gal tank at home is a $200 bill.Frown

You spent your $$$$ acquiring a pair of very uncommon Winchesters! Cool

I spent less on gas (<$300) than motel rooms but my little Explorer is pretty easy on gas even if it does prefer 91 octane. I don’t have Harry’s sharp eye so my only prize was a much-needed sight for an 1890 I want to shoot.
