Went to fill up the 90's wagon and found diesel jump 50cent a gallon
here on vancouver island over the last week. More expensive than
premium now. Guess it's time for
people to fill up oil tanks for heating so drive that price up,
record profits next quarter too I'll bet.

I'm in upstate NY and filled up yesterday for $2.95. One other station I saw
was $2.89, but I picked the truck stop hoping they would have better fuel.

negative sir, have not topped the CD out...it pins out at 85. The SD,
OTOH, reads to 120, and will almost make that. Top speed around 115 (so
far).
Kaleb, and yes, by definition, that makes me a reckless driver. I've only
had the SD above 100 2 or 3 times (1 time in southern Missour.
Agreed - the gas sucking SLC won't be so bad to drive now -- I'm
inspired to take more time off work and get it running.

Top speed on the 87 300TD is 123mph and I EASILY hit
100 the other day. The SD was screaming across Texas
