The “dollar” thingy moved a lot faster than the “gallon” thingy. ☹️

View attachment 4105126Just did a quick conversion of your prices in the States and in Aus and its cents difference, good to know we’re all in the sh*t!
Aus (and many other high fuel tax countries) have a bit of a buffer in the fuel price % change; there's 52 cents of duty in there, and then the GST (10%) is on top of duty + fuel cost + retailer margin. In comparison, the Americans have much lower taxes, so that change in the fuel cost is reflected at almost a 1:1 ratio in the price.

When I arrived in the Quezon province where I live in the Philippines; I purchased 42L of diesel for P2000 at P47.87 per liter.
Now 18 days later the price is P105 per liter and slowly climbing.
For those of you that want to do the computations Dollars to Peso’s $1.00 equals P59 and 3.785 L to the gallon.
Either way the price now in the PI is VERY expensive.
 
Fuel price change is total BS
 
Long live capitalism and any excuse for a price hike , it's not like we all are starting digging trough our backyard trying to find oil . They have a monopoly and they know it .
Joe, you should start digging. Chances are you will find oil. You are in TX. 😂

That would require a lot of brakes for a chocolate and a coke to get my energy levels back up . Maybe I should just start doing donuts in the backyard and see how deep I can rut it out that way
 
Form not function this time. Powder coat valve cover Cardinal BK208. I was debating to do the same for the stainless 2.5” intercooler piping.

At this point, beer is cheaper the gas. drink! Don’t drive.
Reminded me of something my father was fond of telling ... After his tour in Korea, he spent a year in Germany where beer was cheaper than drinking water. He always smiled when he was telling this.
 
I sprayed the FRP top white. Used to be silver, sort of.
I should have used high-build primer and sanded a lot more but I got lazy.
It's hard to spray gloss white in the sunshine.
