I said a while back that the Guru on cable TV news said gas at $2.50 by Ground Hog Day and 2.00 or less by Memorial day..... 4 weeks ago oil was $107 per barrel,,,today it is $93 per barrel... The Gas Gods are giving us a Christmas present.... Let's enjoy the savings.... Happy Ground Hog Day...

Regular gas by me today was $3.15 per gallon. I pulled up and the attendant came out and cleaned my windsheild and checked my oil and also checked my tire pressure while filling up my gas tank. He was wearing a clean and pressed attendant uniform and he told me how he appreciated my...

I don't drive much the last years due to many reasons, and I only have 11K miles on my F- 150 and it is a 2008. I bought it new in 2009 in the height of the depression and they were just about giving them away. It has always run Great, thank God, but I was worried that since I drive only about...

Originally Posted By: GreeCguy Actually, you'll want to keep that summer air in your tires for a number of reasons. 1. The warm air will function nicely to melt the snow and ice on most driving surfaces enabling you to obtain better traction, (be wary however of driving on a frozen river or...

I've read recently that with Winter coming that we should let out the warm summer air from our tires and put in cold Winter air into our tires... Is this true..?? The local place where I get my air doesn't speculate which air is the Summer air and which air is the Winter air... Do you go to a...

Hi Everyone. I have only 11K miles on my Michelin tires and they are 6 full years old... They are still in good shape with very little, if any, tire rot... They were rotated last time 3 years ago at 6K miles.... I have found a shop to change my oil and filter and fuel filter that I trust...

Hi all... I just stopped at an auto parts place to get some Techron concentrate and the guy said that the cleaner will loosen carbon and dirt and it may get treapped into my fuel flter. He suggested after 3 tankfuls to change my fuel filter.. Is this true, can using fuel cleaners actually...

Are fuel additives necessary and if so when to use it..? If my car is running well, would a treatment like Techron or Redline SI-1 be a good preventive maintenance product. My F-150 has only 11K miles, but is a 2008 and sometimes sits for 4-5 days at a time.. Could my fuel filter and/or...

One of the Gurus on one of the cable business shows this morning said don't be surprised to see oil in the $75 per barrell area by years end.... He said the Middle East is now calmer and America is conserving more oil compared to the past.. Wouldn't that bring gas down to at least $2.50 per...

You may laugh, but I posted the other day how oil was under $100 per barrell.... Today it is at $97......and going lower by the minute.. I had a dream that by Christmas gas will be $1.29 per gallon and stay there for at least 5 years. Everyone was trading in those tiny sardine size cars and...

If the price of oil keeps going down, do you think gas prices will fall to $2 or even $1 a gallon again..?

I've heard that 30 minutes after you install a Chinese air filter, you feel like installing another one.

Due to many reasons I am unable to change the oil in my F-150 myself any longer. Last week I checked with a few shops in my area and they all said they would change my oil (((((with my oil and my oil filter)))) as I am requesting and also rotate the tires... Today I did searches on the...

I've had some free time and I've been intrigued by additive packages oil companies add to their oils for additional lubricating and anti wear detergents and longevity of the oils... I'm interested in the zinc, moly, phosphorus and calcium levels of oils and their desired effects... Motor oil I...

I've read differing and confusing data regarding zinc and phosphorus... I called Dave at Redline and he said that it is not zinc levels that cause problems but phosphorus levels.... I didn't ask him how much zinc and phosphorus is too much for passenger cars and light trucks... I've searched...
