Looks like you only spent $128.40...why you exaggerating so much?

The diesel had already cleared. That was just the unleaded.

That was just the gasoline. 20 gallons of Diesel behind me was another $91 and change.

Wow it's 3.29 there. Dang. IL and our awesome gas tax is still over 4. Not that it's a problem for most of us anymore lol.

Damn I want those gas prices...I am paying $1.88/litre here (a month ago it was $2.3/litre) which is about $7US/gal

That sounds about the same I was paying in Germany back in 2012. US prices are usually so much better, even in these crazy days.

Not jealous of your haul, @p52Ranch! All our tools are now fully electric. AC failed and so now we’re looking at replacing two conditioners and two gas heaters with air source heat pumps (wish we qualified for that credit…). When the water heater goes we’ll do an ASWH as well.

Yes, and that is why every time I drive to Whistler I see your fellow Canadians lined up at the Costco gas pumps in a Bellingham with me before I cross the border so I can avoid fueling in your neck of the woods during my trip. We here in the US whine way too much not realizing how good we have it compared to what you and others in this world pay for fuel…..

Well I'm a little envious of the fuel prices. I still need to get diesel for the tractor and gas for other tools. I don't think anyone flinches much seeing the lightning at the gas station, but I haven't used an EA charger yet without someone asking me about the truck.

There was one person at the gas station when I pulled in who recognized the Lightning and asked if it was all electric. He was puzzled why was I pulling up to a gas pump.

you funny guy....

You need a better way to haul all that gas:
50 gallons. I load it in/out of the truck with ramps.
Mostly used for my boats in the summer so have not hauled it yet in the Lightning.
I need another one for diesel (for the tractor).

I have switched my tools to electric. I was a bit hesitant at first (especially for the chainsaw since I cut about 10 cords a year to heat my home), but they have been great so far. I also recently completed a survey from Kubota with a bunch of questions about how I would use an electric tractor and if I would be willing to buy one. I just bought a new sub-compact last year, but I would trade it in for an electric if Kubota or any major manufacturer made one and had maintenance available for it. Here’s to hoping!

I’ve been eyeing the Stihl electric chainsaws. Also looking to add the electric Polaris ranger now that it has decent power.
