    Not seeing E15.......Yet

    Yeah, the 3 cents is a ripoff. If I weren't experimenting, I wouldn't have bought it out of principle. It was ten cents discount for E15 88 at Casey's in NW Indiana. Gas buddy says my local QT in the Chicago Suburbs has a 5 cent discount for Eq5 88. 50 cents is amazing!

    My mechanic was done with my TL but didnt have time to pick it up today. Just under a 5k interval of mostly highway miles. Car is around 323K. (Took it last week for transmission fluid and cartridge filter change at this trans shop my mechanic trusts. He's done it twice on this car before but...

    Not seeing E15.......Yet

    Kwik Trip in Sun Prarie WI (near Madison). You can see the price spread of E10 87, E 15 88 and E0 91. I searched some threads here and some thought E15 88 is worth it if it is ten cents or more cheaper. I got it anyway for the 3 cents difference because I am experimenting with it. I know...

    Not seeing E15.......Yet

    QT in the Chicago suburbs has 10% ethanol but also has the 88 E15 for only a few cents less. In Beloit, WI yesterday I stopped for gas as Costco was closed and I needed to fill up to get home. Also, WI gas is cheaper than IL. Pilot was $3.69 and Speedway and Mobil were $3.99. I believe that...

    Post your latest oil change

    Had my mechanic change the oil in my 2005 Taurus . It was at 5600 or so miles since the last change. Usually, I try to do between 4500 and 5000 but I was on a road trip. I used my stash of 5w30 Valvoline Restore and Protect. I used to get the Carquest Premium but now I'm stuck with the...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect Fuel System Cleaner??

    It appears to be working now for me. It didnt work earlier so either they fixed it or somehow buying thr BOGO deal at the sore and scanning rewards somehow made it now work for online orders.

    Valvoline Restore and Protect Fuel System Cleaner??

    I bought two bottles at Autozone for the BOGO deal when I went to pick up an oil filter. I may go buy another 2 or 4. I dont even know if this actually does anything for my vehicles but I will now use a bottle in each car shortly before each oil change. My Taurus might need it because I used...

    $6 - $10 increase on oils (5qt jugs) in Walmart this morning July/2026

    This thread made me go buy some Valvoline Restore and Protect 5 QT jugs for the current sale price of $28.99. I now have enough stock stock for 5 oil changes in my two vehicles when I include the ten quarts I am being given by GON for the 72 oz steak challenge. I havent even checked if my...

    Which top tier gas for older cars?

    I try to get Top tier and often that means Costco. I was just at the Costco in Montgomery AL and that station is tiny compared to the ones I frequent in the Chicago area and Las Vegas. I had no wait there and I don't even find that I wait that long at the busy ones in the Chicago suburbs...

    Big Texan Steak House 72 oz steak challenge road tour

    Okay. I am officially in for the last stop at Navy Pier on Thursday at noon. I've done a challenge in the past that was bigger than this: I did a 6lb steak challenge at Kelsey's in Valparaiso, IN in 2016 but I had more capacity back then...

    Big Texan Steak House 72 oz steak challenge road tour

    They are a nightmare to get a hold off but there's still a chance I get in one of the last two stops. The restaurant replied once to check their social media but they never reply to any of the Facebook posts where there are a bunch of people asking in each post how to participate. I even know...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect Fuel System Cleaner??

    I just ordered two bottles of the Fuel treatment online along the oil filter and Valvoline Restore and Protect oil discount combo and got free FedEx shipping from Autozone. I don't see why people couldn't just order the more than two bottles that they seek online as $35+ orders gets free...

    My 2006 Acura TL

    You should many more miles remaining. I have a 2006 TL as well but without the Navigation unit. It's close to 320k and I bought it from a friend when it had 265k in 2022. I am on a forum for this car and supposedly the Automatic transmission can be weak on these but I've been lucky. The big...

    Nissan Versa (2008?) - Running around with 1/2 quart of oil in sump...

    Ill admit that when I had my Saturn jn my early 20's, the engine was making a ticking noise and I brought it to the dealer. Dealer told me it was really low on oil. Good thing is I learned to check the oil after that and kept that engine running until someone wit no license hit me and totaled it.
