I see you failed to see my sarchasm in that post too....

Priced popped over $4.00/gal here, unfortunetly, Speedway bumped their E85 to $3.09 to match their regular at $4.09....................

IIRC, when it comes to tailpipe emissions vs stack emissions, even though the stacks put out nasty stuff, they are supposedly less polluting when charging fleets of EV's than the equivalent number of similar gas powered cars powered cars. Lithium batteries are much better than the Nickel or Lead based batteries in not only weight and performance (voltage and amperage), but tend to be cleaner to manufacture and just as easy to recycle. Not too worried about the whole battery fire thing like Tesla had recently since a similar situation would be far worse for the typical car.

Nice, is a R/T or a SE?

Better crank up the Hate Jim, we had Portillo's for dinner tonight too

Here's your reason for the jump Craig............... https://news.yahoo.com/explosion-tanker-off-japan-coast-coastguard-reports-024531101.html;_ylt=ApX.vq4LZtGXNbiWx76_kz2xK2RH

For it to make sense, it has to be $.80/gal or better less than regular, which is breaking even with the mileage loss. I usually go by what the closer stations' prices are vs that station's are. With the station I buy from, even if they're internally $1/gal less, their gas prices can be enough that it would be cheap enough compared to by home or work for me to buy gas for my Jeep there too. At one point last summer, it was anywhere from $1/gal to $1.50/gal less than regular at that station since gas was up well over $4/gal, and the stations in St. Charles, Geneva, and West Chicago that were anywhere from $.05-$.30/gal more for just gas. One thing myself and others with Pentastar equipped Mopars is that these little motors like their booze a whole lot and are willing to push their personal "spread limit" to cover premium as well as regular. Dad is kinda bummed the VVT Hemi in my Sister's new Challenger isn't flex fuel too, not only from a fuel cost standpoint (currently $1.40/gal spread vs Premium at the same station), but from a power and performance standpoint too!

I just checked the Speedway I buy E85 from after seeing Craigs post, they just dropped their prices with E85 leading the way at $2.78/gal and regular following at $3.78/gal!

Is that bottom like what it cures, or what you'll leave the tour site with?

Dang, those wheels aren't quite generic enough!

Thanks, I'll have to take a look, think we have one of those kits at work! These wheels look just enough like a TT to invoke their spirit, but not enough to be called them or Bullitt wheels......or maybe not to have to pay licensing fees to the correct parties..........

Didn't one of the stunt cars survive too Steven? I Seem to remember seeing an article or something about some guy who found a well worn red '57 Plymouth that looked a whole lot like the movie cars and had deep tinted windows, gutted interiors, roll bar, racing seat, ect and not only bought it, but has saved it and I believe still owns it.

Picked up a can of Testors Purple-Licious lacquer to go with that Challenger kit, now I just have to find more accurate rims (the kit comes with "Cragars", the 1/1 came with "Torque Thrusts"), a T-Handle shifter, and maybe the newer style wheel.

Now where is that pesky Like button when you need it.........

I like that idea Harry, the tazer portion in particular!

Looks great, amd fantaetic work on the 258 too!

That's some of the reasons I like using them, even when using a check like today (light on cash, still neded to fill my 200 by then too), spent enough time running one that it's just faster for me to ring myself out.

Picked this up in kit form today, for obvious reasons Now I just need to pick up some Testors Purple-Licious and dig up the rest of my paints.

Eh, not always faster and more efficent, I've run into issues with self checkouts that I wouldn't have if I was operating a cashier run machine instead.......then there's people that make Leroy Jethro Gibbs look like a computer savant or idiots like the one in my old store today...................

And it still requires humans to maintain and fill the machines when they break and run out of reciept tape and/or money, as well as design and then write updated programming for the following generations.

Technically...........no, humans are still involved, but now they're just relying on customers to their own scanning and some of the cashiering. Only thing the machine is replacing is the dispencing of cash if that's how the product is paid for.

While I can't say for sure in other stores, the self checkout at my old store only took away one potential cashier job and some sales floor space, as it replaced 2 typical registers with 4 and still has 1 cashier to basically babysit these 4 and the assist/babysit the customers using them.

My Sister and I stopped by the Jewel-Osco Mom and I used to work at and as we were cashing out at self check out, another self checkout user ent her kid to bring to the attention of the girl observing the registers that the hot dog buns that were supposed to be 2 for $4 were instead ringing up at $2 a bag.........it took the cashier and me both to convince her that was right!

Looks like Purple-licious will be the right color to use.

For as close as you live to us Harry, don't be surprised if you actually see her cruising around in it!
