I know some pay a demand charge - ie: a different rate depending on what the maximum use per time period is as well. In other words, there an infinite # of pricing schemes with varying fixed and escalating components. Thus why I posted based on my annual all in electricity cost - not on a...

Since some want the "all in", despite the fact the fees, etc... don't change (ie: I pay them regardless of whether I have a gas car or an electric one...) For me, and likely for many, cherrypicking one month won't tell the story either. We pay more per kWh in the summer months, and also use...

Currently $3.26 avg for 87 E10, 12.65 cents per kWh for 9 months of the year. (14.04 cents per kWh in June, July, August). FWIW, I do the calcs comparing between my two vehicles. My 2.7 Ecoboost F150 against my plug in Hybrid Ford Fusion Energi. On average, the truck costs 3.5 to 4 times as...

I put them on when the 10-14 day extended forecast doesn't have lows above 35 and highs stay below 45 or so. My job requires watching the weather forecast, including long term, so keeping an eye on these isn't a big deal. I also don't fret about the 1st snow. The 1st snow here usually is backed...

Now scale that up to the 19,000 urban lane miles of NYC. Sound like a good idea? (For reference, the division I work for has approximately 250 plow trucks for 4300 lane miles. Most municipal routes will have more lane miles assigned to them for a lower level of service).

I think you are missing the point. Under your idea, the City of New York should buy a dedicated fleet of plow trucks, have them sit (and need to be parked, housed, and mainained) and do nothing the rest of the year, and maintain a separate large fleet of municipal heavy duty vehicles that are...

Sure, buy a dedicated fleet of plow only vehicles that sit around and do nothing for the vast majority of the year. I'm sure the tax paying public won't mind.... Working for an agency with hundreds of heavy plow units, the challenge is using the same tool the rest of the year. NYC is actually...

So your statement they started early should be they were able to start earlier than normal in California. Again, it's normal here for allowable rvp to increase in September.

Put me down in the extremely satisfied department with my 2016. It checked every box for what I needed out of my 1/2 ton truck. 7+ years later, and 115,000 trouble free miles, I still smile when I drive it. I will be very curious how the new engines pan out in the RAM trucks. Time will tell!

I rest my case on how many in the the current RAM family is likely to take the news...

The take numbers on the 3.5 Ecoboost speak for themselves on whether the market has decided if they work or not... No amount of patronizing insults about "cute" motors will change that... Of course, I don't even have the "big" ecoboost in my F50 - went with the 2.7 Ecoboost and it does...

Standard specs for pipeline delivery started allowing higher volatility in mid-september here - the same as it is every year. Max volatility started Nov 1st (again, the same as it is every year).

The new Ford yellow is the replacement for the orange and is fully compatible for use in systems that currently have the orange in it. No issues with a dump and fill, that's what I've done on my 2016 F150. Nice only keeping the yellow on hand now as it was what my 21 Explorer came from the...

I don't think max tow has ever been availible on the 2.7. That's always been 3.5 eco or 5.0 territory. There has been a payload package for the 2.7, but that is not the same as max tow.

Four General Altimax Arctic 12 in 225/50R17 for the new to me Ford Fusion Energi. Mounted and balanced on new wheels from Tire Rack and picked up at their distribution center near the office...

Availible wheel sizes on the F150 in 2018 are 17", 18", 20", and 22". In 2018 17" wheels come on XL and XLT trim trucks standard, but upgrading to sport or chrome or off road packages often bumps you to 18". The 17" Wheel is also standard on the Raptor. Note also in the table below that the...

Recognize that the F150 comes with multiple tire and wheel sizes - depends on the year, trim level, drivetrain, and ordered options. Why a 2015 would come with one size and the 2018 another again depends on trim level, drivetrain, and ordered options. (As an example, my 2106 F150 came from the...

The company whose sticker is on the outside of the trailer does have a facebook page but appears to have been out of business since 2018 or so... They appear to been heavily involved in custom rigs for auto racing of all types... Looks like they sold off their inventory in 2019 in a Bankruptcy...

I've been happy with the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar on my 2016 F150. one half of them on my truck sits at 90,000 miles on them with usable tread (The other half were replaced due to an unrepairable flat). Two comments on that: The LT versions of this tire are Three Peak...

How heavy are you towing? Recognize that ANY F150 in that model year is limited to 5000 lbs towing unless it was equipped with a trailer tow package. Check for yourself on page 6...
