brettj3876 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Getting right around 6.8-7.0mpg running loaded both ways to Jersey and back with the 93ch. About 6.2 with the 99 but that has 4.42s so it's not terrible for what it is. Bit over spec'd for dragging a van around Lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-497977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 when you pulled out of the yard there and went up the hill passed the Pumpkin Patch, (Schnieder) there was a store there top of the hill.... (Gosh) I hope I remember correctly... I would always get there tuna sandwhich, and drinks..... When I worked out of that terminal, I lived in Old Orchard Beach M.E. My longest commute to work.... EVER.... jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-497979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I have a lot of dyed diesel sitting around, any chemist's out there who know how to distill that dye out? Oh on second thought the tax man's probably watching this so never mind😉 Dyed diesel here is cheeper than gasoline 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-497986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there's another on a hill a few miles further D&C they make really good subs/burgers to order not pre made crap. P&G is actually pretty quick now live loading. Gate to gate 2hr avg, even quicker sometimes. They call you when your loaded not you having to constantly call them. I like loading out of the plant better than the drop lot warehouse on top of the hill Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-498004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Pump and Pantry sounds right.. It's been 24 years ago, so I'm a bit rusty, jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-498015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 If I remember correctly, when i went to the pumpkin patch, just after this store, (on the left), i took a left, and it was down hill for a bit then a left into pumpkin patch, the pumpkin patch was just a big crappy dirt lot with an office trailer, and a handful of old green and yellow, Builders Transport trucks settin around.. P&G was just a bit further passed the 'patch'.. and I beleive there was a lot of open land back then, not many homes.. Diesel is still $5.49-$5.69 here.. jojo 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-498016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Sorry, I'm hijacking this thread,, I used to eat at a little place passed P&G just over a bridge I beleive, on the left, we would bobtail to it..

Joey Mack Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I Hope I can hang on.. As it is my workload is starting to dwindle. I am only buying enough fuel to get me to and from the job site. I had to stop hiring a helper, as well. last week I had to buy a socket, nothing special.. 2 1/2" 6 point 3/4 dr. I get them from NAPA, for around $40 bucks. I have many of them.. This time, when I went to pick it up,, $72.00.... Brake cleaner was on sale, $3.50/can ... I was paying $2.00 back in February.. In my travels on Thursday, I drove passed some of my customer locations, and I see 2 trucks 'Parked' the grass around them is a foot high.. Too bad... Diesel, still around $5.59 +/- .10c.. jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-498140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami Cossack Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 We could definitely be paying $2.69 a gallon, but they want to break our will and send the internal combustion engine to the scrap heap when we say "We've had enough!" and welcome their green new bullshit with open arms. Same with emissions and all the other crap. The EPA has all this DEF, DPF crap mandated even on construction equipment now, not because it makes the air cleaner, but because they can get the vehicles to be unreliable and we will hate them and trade them in on the electric garbage their masters in China are going to dump on us. China, Russia and India will still ruin the environment when we are stuck in Lithium junk that nobody works on. China could build better parts, but then our cars and trucks would be more reliable and we would drive them longer. They make money off the garbage and they are killing our vehicles sooner now. Just go to a junkyard and see how new the stuff is in there. It wasn't hit, people scrapped it because they couldn't keep it on the road. It's planned, folks.It's going to get worse. China started an economic war with us in 1971, and they won it. Our politicians sold us out. All of them. Doesn't matter who you voted for. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69631-diesel-fuel-prices/page/4/#findComment-499207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
