The post whore thread.

That's great mileage. I've been averaging 16.2-16.8 city and 18 mph all highway in the 2002 GMC Envoy I've been driving. That's with a 32' ladder on the roof at all times as well.

Well, family was asking me if I want them to just loan me money so I can buy something because they'd like their ride back. I declined because I can just use that HELOC to fill out whatever I don't have in cash. As the weather is calming down, money is really starting to pick up so a few more weeks and I'll be sitting pretty good if this keeps up. Just this week for example, I made more than I did in two weeks at my last job.

Oil change on our new diesel is @10,000 miles. But at a cost of $140 owner or $200 dealer.

Average 24.5 mpg mostly city so far.

Jeep GC with 3.0l. V6 diesel

Just fyi

Whoops, jumped in a bit late on this thread.. Didn't see I was responding to an older post... Diesel vs gas..

Carry on. Lol

Potentially looking at a diesel GC 4x4....knowing what you know now would you still do it?

I'd weight the interest rate between the 2. That HELOC is as you say pandora's box. First it's for redoing the kitchen, then bathroom. Next you know, there's a 1-2 year old vehicle in the driveway. $$$ leaking like the girlfriends unexpected period.

There's no such thing as an unexpected period, except for the very first one.
I never plan to use the HELOC for anything. That rate is 4%, and the rate on a family loan is 0%. However, my family has helped me plenty throughout my life, and I'm a big boy now so I'm not taking any more money from them. Despite the high mileage I'm putting on the borrowed car, I've maintained it and even made some repairs so it will come back in slightly better shape.

Just checked my stats. In February I spent $69.81 in gas, not including that trip to Omaha because the company reimbursed me, and I averaged 17.55 mpg. (This was only for one week though)
In March I spent $299.57 on gas and averaged 17.55 mpg.
This month I'm at $79.56 on gas and only averaging 16.77!!!

Your stats are dropping. Better quit driving while your ahead.
