>finally go standalone ECU>time to start road tuning my car for maximum boost>fuel too expensive, don't even want to drive it
Ok so just tune it for fuel economy and have 2 maps
>>28879563Brother at this price I don't even want to fill up the tank and do the pointless driving up and down the highway that I'd need to road tune
>>28879576gas is curtently cheaper than it was under biden and cheaper than it was when trump took office.
>>28879576>>28879589Inflation adjusted, gas is cheap as fuck compared to what it was around 15 years ago. Around 2008 was around the same prices as today (or more) without adjusting for inflation.If you cant spend the current amount of money on gas as a car enthusiast in the US you are a sad sack. The english and european petrolheads who pay double what we do, plus displacement tax and tip, are laughing at how poor you are. Are you seriously gonna get laughed at by yurocucks? That one guy owns a freaking viper over there.t. own 2x 14mpg V8s, a 6mpg rotary, and a 24mpg mini cooper s driven more like 20mpg. My foot is as heavy as ever.
>buys standalone ecu>is concerned about fuel priceshow retarded are you?
>>28879557Once again we regret to inform you that if the price of fuel for your shitbox is even a fleeting thought in your smooth, tiny, peanut brain, you shouldnt be doing *anything* related to *tuning for maximum boost* because youre too fuckin poor m8. Sorry you had to find out this way but it's better in the long run. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>28879593>That one guy owns a freaking viper over there.to be fair he's not legally allowed to drive it anywhere because it's too loud so his fuel economy is probably pretty good
>can spend stupid money on a standalone>complains about an extra $30 a tankI hate what this website's become.
>>28879589That chart ends before the war fucked the prices.>trusts the numbers from the white houseHave you checked your local station (in the US)?
>>28879593>Around 2008You know what was special about 2008, right? Interesting that you choose THAT year.
>>28879756>implying i looked at the $ numbers on the pump even when biden had them jacked up 4 years agobro this is a car board, we're not democrats here. trump has done more for the car hobby than any other president in our lifetimes. take your tired shill campaign somewhere else.
>>28879756>>28879759>>28879589Cope harder. 2008 gas avg $3.32, today $3.72. And tomorrow it will be more.
>>28879762$3.32 in 2008, so in 2026 that would be over $5 accounting for inflation. $3.72 is way cheaper than that. no one is coping but you. none of us care about an extra $10 a tank when we're paying thousands of dollars more every year for literally everything else due to biden printing half the value of our currency away.
>>28879612>>28879673Oh you guys don't know you can buy speeduinos for the price of filling up a large tank nowadays
>>28879766What the fuck does it matter how much inflation has gone up, if my wages haven't gone up?It's still more expensive!
>>28879772post your car, retard.
>>28879589I didn't pay $4.40 per gallon a single time during biden's term.
>>28879673>he doesn't knowdon't play stupid you know he fucking took a loan on that shit OP can't afford shit
>>28879766>due to biden printing half the value of our currency away.The CARES ACT was under Trump.>currencyThe USD is down 10% under Trump 2.0.
>>28879766>$5 accounting for inflation.2008 was peak world financial meltdown. It was a time of historic high prices followed by *deflation* not inflation. And now we have the same meltdown coming because of a stupid war.
>>28879557Make another tune for regular gas and fuel economy
>>28879807most of the inflation was from biden and his infrastructure bill where it hit nearly 10% a year. under trump now its almost 2% per year.
>>28879817>comparing propaganda sourcesngmi
>>28879817>from his infrastructure billlmaoIt was post-COVID bills come due. The bills Trump signed.Keep coping.>>28879774Nice attempt at a strawman. Completely irrelevant what he drives. Wages have been stagnant. That's a fact. If you're not earning more now than you were four years ago, you're not buying more gas regardless of other sectors that experience inflation.
>>28879836>Completely irrelevant what he drives. Wages have been stagnantit's relevant because this is /o/, not /pol/. that anon, op, and probably you are not posters on this board and are only here to shill your politics. if he's a car enthusiast he can post his car, if not then he can leave.
>>28879770I'm sure the guy wondering where his next 50$ is coming from can fully set up a speeduino
>>28879817nearly every country had inflation due to covid. the economist called americas economic recovery the envy of the world.https://www.economist.com/special-report/2024-10-19
>be yuorpoor>never complain about fuel prices cus I earn enough and I am not in medical debt cus I got free healthcae>mutts start a war>immediently start complaining about the price of fuel (who would have guesssed) mfw
>>28879883cares act was gay as hell but was bipartisan legislation that had nothing to do with trump. passed in the house by a vote of 419-6 and in the senate by a vote of 96-0. trump signing it was procedural as if he vetoed it it'd just go right back to congress where it'd become law with a 2/3 vote (after just passing with a 3/3 vote).
>>28879789Why do you cultists insist on telling blatant lies? Watch thisWhat state are you in right now?
>>28879883This was due to Democrat lockdowns, which completely fucked the average Joe for decades to come
>>28879930Texas
>>28879855I built a megasquirt and wiring harness in my studio apartment in 2008 while living paycheck to paycheck. Even back then there was sufficient information on the internet for a retard like me to figure it out.
>>28879932>democratremind me who was president in 2020 again
>>28879940to be fair to retard-kun, donald trump is a democrat from 30 year ago in all ways. The overton window has just shifted that far.
>>28879557>Ima finna boost my whip>Ayo this war be jackin up da e88 prices>All that oil we stealed in the ocean hit market, time to boost*blows engine*>Sheeeeeit
>>28879940trump locked down cities?
>>28879930probably a bus rider. he didn't pay that much for gas cause he never bought gas lol
>>28879933And where are you paying over $4 at?>>28879940What does Trump have to do with Democrat governors shutting their states down while Republican states were open? Whitmer shut my state down for 19 months and we had a worse death rate than Florida

>>28879996Okay so you're a liar https://www.kens5.com/gas-prices
>>28880027>sends another link with 87 octane priceshere, I did your work for you, this took 7 seconds to find on gasbuddy https://www.gasbuddy.com/station/33233
>>28879964Sorry you had trouble with the math but "shutting down" from March 2020 to April 2021 is not 19 months.Michigan was in the highest amount of cases per state throughout Covid. The hospitals were literally overfilled. My gf at the time worked at a Detroit metro hospital and her primary job was putting bodies in bags. Republicans couldnt into distancing or wearing a mask, they called it a hoax and you'd even see Trump having gatherings and rallys. Republicans could only figure out wearing masks when they became ICE agents.
>>28880026>>28880034and how much do you think 93 was back in 2022 if regular was $4.68?
>>28880034>93 octane under trump is the same price as 87 octane under bidenlol
>>28880048never once paid over $4 for regular under Biden but sucks to suck wherever you live I guess
>>28879770A speeduino is $1100??
>>28880050>I didn't pay $4.40 per gallon a single time during biden's term>never once paid over $4 for regular under Bidenthis is a weasel statement. no one cares what you personally did or did not pay for some specific thing 4 years ago. you probably were too young to drive, didn't own a car, lived in some other country, or some other situation where you weren't buying that specific grade of gas at that specific time in your life. it does absolutely nothing to change the fact that all gas in the US was upwards of 50% more expensive 4 years ago under biden than it is right this very second under trump.
I remember back in 2008 when we had a Republican president from Texas and gas was over 4usd in 2008 dollaroos and every republican was somehow okay with it.
>>28880064I remember back in 2008 when we had a Republican president from Texas and gas was $1.75 in 2008 dollaroos.
>>28880067Oh that's right, the price of gas crashed in the last half of 2008 because under Bush the entire economy took a giant steaming shit and then handed Obama that fucking disaster. Average gas price in June/July 4.00usd peaking at 4.11usd.Gas price in December hits 1.64usd.

>>28880128Yeah just conviently skip over why the price of gasoline fell in 2008.My time is worthless because im practically retired and have been building and tuning turbo cars since Clinton was president. At this point I can just buy cars that dont need modifying.
>>28880121I know what I paid

It's alright bros calm down, I had to go buy some wheels so I begrudgingly filled up the tank.Shall be tuning tomorrow.
how my VE table lookin?
Ameribeast mental gymnastics on how paying more for the same thing is good actually will never not be funny to me
>>28884053A lot of people voted for this but don't want to admit it
>>28884042the values on the ve table are a percentage. peak ve would be a value 100 aka 100% of what your engine can offer. anything over a value of 100 on the table is over compensating for a miscalibrated fuel system.
>>28884053>>28884076i did not vote for the fat fag with the orange toupee either time because despite being funny and personable he was never going to be a good president because people like that just get manipulated, and he has so many marionette strings for (((them))) to pull onnow it turns out he and everyone who works under him is a child molesting jewish vampire wow what a fuckin shock
>>28884559I'm not throwing shade at burgerbros who also don't like this whole gas price shitshow just at the MAGA/MIGAtards.

Cash is trash! That’s what you gotta know. Holding on to your money is more expensive than spending it. Buy buy buy. You dollar won’t be worth shit before long.
>>28879593this. 2-3 years ago gas price hiked from ~1.2 eur to 2.1 eur in mere months. Today it's steadily increasing with current price floating around 1.9 eur.That's roughly 8.3 USD per gallon paid by eastern europeans with an average income of 18k a year. As far as I know, the more wealthy countries have already surpassed 10 USD per gallon.Every sane human being has been on their toes about the income. Only retarded wagies have kept the same fixed rate they signed 10 years ago.It's very tiresome if you keep yourself in the drama loop. Learn the rules of the game and have fun with what you have.And keep in mind that things have a habit of changing rapidly. My grandparents went to school by horse and didn't have electricity, I'm writing this post from a device that is mere inches in size and can simulate an intelligence inside of it.
