Big Bear Posted June 23, 2018 Reading that first post is the CB equivalent of watching a puppy get beaten. Nope. Nope. Nope. If only we could save more from the "congrats on the CLI" comments that only solidifies that level of credit ignorance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigpoppa09 Posted June 25, 2018 Here is another one that make u wonder can some people do basic math the OP went head over heels over the USAA Cashback Rewards Plus Amex they said the main perk of this card was the 5% on gas capped at 3K. i guess they didn't know they could have gotten the FNBO Ducks Unlimited which offers 5% on gas uncapped . I guess 5% on your first 3K is more than 5% uncapped. https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-Approvals/USAA-Cashback-Rewards-Plus-Amex-2-500/td-p/5279977 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect I am an outlier with an average expenditure of $300-$500 per month on gas. The price of diesel is up a solid 55 cents from last year. I'm not having trouble pushing $200, and I've only pulled the camper twice so far. I'm expecting to layout $400+ for the next few months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, I recall seeing that near the end. Even Sonoco had 100 octane I believe until recently. However, these days you can easily convert to E85 to get 105 octane simply by oversizing your injectors by 30%, or increasing your pulsewidth if you have that capability. Most modern ECU's don't even recognize the fuel difference and simply advance the timing map to its full potential. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
