    Good lord... Nothing with a luxury brand should have ANYTHING with 169hp.

    I almost always go to when my light comes on which the car reads ~50 miles till empty. I don't feel the need to fill up earlier unless I foresee terrible weather or a road trip in the near future.
  3. ccap41
    I mean... I get that but not everything can be 60-100k and 500-700hp..

    Of course warranties are about bean counters, i the end. Had Hyundai and Kia not thrown massive warranties on their vehicles, they never would have taken off.
  5. ccap41
    That's because OEM's have to warranty their products for years and tens of thousands of miles.

    Just... never mind...

    "nobody cares what the national average is" uhhh.. how else would we all compare prices/costs when we all live in different locations? Still, you should have looked up the vehicle we're talking about. 24 or 28 gallon tanks. Yeah, on a performance vehicle I am all for paying whatever premium as it isn't driven 100% of the time and it's all out of pure enjoyment. Buuuuut... we're talking about a stock Silverado 6.2. That is not what I could classify as a "fast truck". It is very quick and serves its job exceptionally but, imo, it doesn't warrant the premium fuel prices.

    IMO, life is too short to piss money down the drain on premium vs regular for a non-performance vehicle...like a truck..

    Maybe you didn't realize the 2019 Silverado is brand new and the "been for decades" thing is irrelevant. You also must be picky and choosey with your STL prices as I drove past two stations this morning at 2.29/gal. Here is a REAL image of gasoline prices in the STL area, not whatever you are looking for. Even premium prices are lower that whatever you were searching for. That's a very reasonable price and especially if you have a membership, get your gas there as well. Because he said "5--6 bucks per tank".

    24 gallons * $0.60 = $14.40/tank.

    Phoenix is more an anomaly as the rest of the country averages $0.60/gal over regular. https://www.erieinsurance.com/blog/regular-and-premium-gas Sorry, I read 24-28 and assumed 28 was pretty standard but with the crew cab being the most popular option that is a 24 gallon tank. I don't see 26 anywhere. https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/silverado/2019.tab1.html I'll take a national average over one single station for statistical comparisons.
  12. ccap41
    It is not 5-6 bucks a tank more for premium in a Silverado. 28 gallon tank * $0.60 premium = $16.80 per tank. If your premium isn't 0.60 we can do $0.50 = $14.00 per tank

    The AT4 looks freakin great. GM is not "woke".
  14. ccap41
    Both look turrible.

    FWIW, it looks like they sold 113,066 Mustangs globally in 2018 so even a 10% drop still keeps them over 100,000 units. Just in the US, there wasn't a 10% drop though, -4.42%. Using -5% as an estimate, we can lightly assume they sold ~107,400 for 2019, globally.
  16. ccap41
    Yeah, I didn't see international sales but I think the Mustang was doing pretty well over in Europe but I don't know what kind of number defines "pretty well". I think the Mustang has been so iconic for ford that they would be willing to lose *some* money on it before actually calling it over.
  17. ccap41
    That is wildly inaccurate... 346,048 Equinoxes vs 75,842 Mustangs. file:///C:/Users/capalupoc/Downloads/Deliveries Quarter 4 2019.pdf https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2019-us-muscle-car-sales-figures/

    This was even back in 2016.

    Ford and Lincoln are no longer(finally) just badge-jobs. Not long ago all Lincoln's were was a few small changes and they called it a day. Now, Lincoln gets their own treatment and share only underpinnings. I think it was a year or two ago they came out and said all of the switch-gear would be Lincoln-specific as well, so you really wouldn't see Ford when sitting in a Lincoln. I think that might have been when the current Navigator came out.

    I don't think it is anything major but add in the cost of DEF. I think it's supposed to be roughly a full tank per oil change but I believe that can vary by quite a bit based on weather and driving.
  21. ccap41
    Oh weird, I assumed the other order but I see how it is flipped..
  22. ccap41
    The Traverse is the most surprising on the list, to me.
  23. ccap41
    Yeah at those speeds and loaded up, it sounds very respectable, also including the climbs through mountain passes through thin air. Does that have the n/a 3.5 then?
  24. ccap41
    @surreal1272 What kind of fuel economy did you get on that adventure? How quick/slow were you going(most of the trip, at least)? N/A 3.5?
  25. ccap41
    Did you make that trip solo??? That's quite the drive to do on your own and 45 minutes of sleep says it!
