Fuel prices around the world.

I had a Maverick way back when. Very weak front end and a chronic ruster too. Used to call it an 'Ick'. Bought it used beat on it and scrapped it.

You just described most vehicles made in the mid-70s to early 80s. They only offered a 12,000 mile warranty back then... can you imagine doing that now?

But it was cheap compared to today, think I paid a grand for it and got 50 at the bone yard. Got my money's worth out of it though. 3 on the tree with an inline 6. Did a lot of drive in movies in it. Nice cushy bench seat in front.

My father had a '75 Power Wagon. He did a lot of research and thinking, before buying it to replace his '62 Willys pickup which he'd also bought new. It was just off the warranty when he lost the u-joints in the front end and had to rebuild it on his own dime. He generally bought a vehicle to keep, but he traded that for a '78 F150... the only 2WD truck that he ever owned for as long as I was around.

Keep thinking to myself, I bet he likes filling up that new Dodge diesel he just bought at 4 bucks plus a gallon.

I have an old Dodge Cummins and no filling anything with diesel isn’t fun anymore.

He gets to add DEF too. You don't and neither do I.

I’m not so sure it was cheap. I bought a half ton Ford in 1978 for $6k and that was a lot of money back then.

Understandable. Discussing anything with Hay Dude is like wrestling with a pig in mud. They like it and you don't. Why I keep him on ignore. Only poster on here I do.

I guess that’s why you reply to like 2/3rds of my posts? Lol

The power companies killed coal because they switched to less expensive fuel sources. Quit blaming everything on the government.

The post and link I put up showing this was forced upon many power company's by the government was removed

Well let’s see if we can break that down the stupidity of that a bit.
1. Its not a dodge it’s a Ram
2. it’s not new, it’s 2 years old
3. I have other personal vehicles to drive. A Jeep that gets 20mpg, for one. We also have a family car.
4. I use the Ram for real farming, not to look for a tax loophole like a hobby farmer like you would.

But please, keep “ignoring” me.

At a whopping $8 a month, I’m not worried about my DEF expense. Lol
Fuel is what went up and is the topic.
DEF? Not so much
