Drove up to a local trailhead for a hike, needed to top off the tank on the way home.

$4.86 a gallon for the corn free juice.

Yep. Over $5/gallon for non-ethanol here in Divide.
Dang! I'm guessing there's still only one gas station there? Didn't they have a 40 parked beside it for a long time? Long time ago.

Believe it or not, we have two gas stations, and they both serve non-ethanol. They target boat traffic en route to Elevenmile Reservoir just down the road.

I can assure you that the 40 must be long gone, or I’d have inquired about it!

P.S. I do have my eye on a red 40 down the road in Woodland Park, hidden behind some old trucks. Trying to locate the owner without being attacked by “Sic Balls” Chopper.

Love your thread, by the way.

Thank you!


I used to work with an old timer when I lived in Colorado Springs, he was from Canõn City. We were in Montrose working at the time, he was telling me about an old smurf blue 40 his dad had bought new in the 70's, said they only used it to haul elk out of the mountains, it was their yearly hunting trip together. The father had since passed and my buddy said he still has it sitting out at their land. Told me all kinds of tall tales and good ol day stories, about how the rig was kick ass patina smurf blue, except for the hood, it was dark red from the blood of 30 some odd years of elk blood.

I mentioned something like BS to him about half of the stories, and there ain't no way in hell he has a completely original 40 sitting in the barn.

He called my BS the following week with a stack of pics from dead elk from all their trips, him and his old man posing with trophy bulls and an old faded 40.

Then he drove it in one week.







It probably still sits on his place today.

We are currently at $9,08, it was almost $10,00 per gallon for E10, corn free is no longer available and E5 is between 5 and 10% higher.
