There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Couple weeks ago, the wife and I travelled from South Florida to Maine. We drove the 99 Ford van with the 5.4 litre engine, so yes we did burn a few gallons of gasoline. Certainly not disappointed in the van, since even with 280,000 miles, she still gets very close to Fords published mpg listed for when new.
What is disappointing was seeing the huge variance in gasoline prices. Some states charging nearly $1.00 more per gallon of regular gasoline than other states.
Living in South Florida, we very seldom run heat in the winter, and when we do, the heat is electric. As for folks living in the colder regions that use oil fired furnaces, all the best, as I suspect these increased fuel prices for gasoline in some Northern states my be an indicator of an expensive winter.
For a range of fuel costs for gasoline on the trip. It ranged from a low of $3.09, to a high of $3.99. There was a couple of gas stations where I drove in, saw the price above $4.00 per gallon and drove to a less expensive place for fuel. We also planned accordingly to pas through states with high gasoline prices, and fueled up in adjacent states with lower gasoline prices.

Fuel oil:gaah::gaah: ..... got some serious sticker shock last month ..... I have a 1000 gal tank and only have to fill it once a year ... I've used only one dealer for the past 20 years so I get a very good rate .... last year I paid 2.47 per gal .... this year it was $ 4.02 for 700 gals. ( avg. yearly amount ). I think it's going to be a very cold winter for some folks especially those who Rely on SS ...... JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

Hopefully not. Last thing I want to see in the news is about folks on SS freezing to death not able to afford heating fuel.

As of yesterday, the current lowball dealer is Harps foods. $3.39 per gallon for 87 regular. Diesel is through the roof at $5.19 per gallon.

Fuel prices have come down about 30 cents a gallon, for regular, 4.99 to 4.69 in the last couple of weeks. I do expect prices to climb back up soon. The diesel shortage will affect everything. There is not one thing we use or buy I can think of that does not get to us by (diesel) truck. The cost of everything will be increasing..... Jim

Seeing these gasoline prices, and reading what Mike posted about his home heating oil cost this year was eye opening and is very expensive.

Gas has very slowly going down here in Chino Valley, AZ (little over 100 miles north of Phoenix). Today we are at 3.81 for 87 octane at Safeway and Maverick

I don't know about using Diesel fuel as a substitute for what I buy - which # 2 Fuel oil ...... Folks who don't have buried tanks or have them in a warm basement use Kerosene, because it doesn't GEL at colder temps..... but it is more $ than #2, so it's not widely used .... too expensive ...... Mike :thumbup:

The upcoming cold winter and very expensive home heating oil will have many folks in touch with others to stay warm.
If the diesel fuel does deplete, $10 per gallon gasoline will be on the horizon.
