Getting ready for a road trip out to Ft Collins Colorado to get my 1928 Chevy 1 ton and bring it back to Indiana. I hope I can find a load going that way to cut my gas cost! I posted on the hauling schedual so hope it works! How are the gas prices out that way?

Bob -- In upper Wyo. it too is about $3 per gallon regular unleaded, diesel at 3.50 or so. These car companies need to get more little cars out there, and the buying public needs to thimk "smaller" Everyone seems to find it to have the huge trucks and Suvs...why ?
Guess it is going to take $4 or more a gallon to get us all to take a more serious look about it all. Sure glad we have kept our 20 year old S-15 GMC.
I have a 1950 Chev. 2 ton farm truck with the old 216 engine, heck ....it makes pretty good mileage while working !! HA HA..... .....
Love that old stuff . . ....

MJD, I have a 49 chevy 3/4 ton with the 216. Boy They do get good mileage! I think it got around 30-35 on the highway with the 17" wheels. I wish the 28 I am getting was running, I would take the bus out and drive it back. I may put that little 4 cyl to work if gas gets higher! I might have to pack a lunch when going to town though!

Not good. Unleaded is over $3.00/gallon here in Omaha. Last Friday diesel jumped from $3.33 to $3.49 in one day. It is amazing how fast prices can go up because of some refinery problem or whatever, but it takes for ever for the prices to come back down again. If prices stay up I may have to park the CTD and start driving the C to work. :>)

My CTD hasn't moved out of the shop since November. Bought a 30 mpg used, 16V, 5spd,Geo Tracker wagon, 4wd, studded snows all around and it just plain goes anywhere! Even took it deer hunting witht the 4 wheeler on a 6x10 behind it. But then we used the GEO instead of the four wheeler! It uses half the fuel of that Honda!
