thats gonna be a hard no. gas pricing is remarkably stable from week to week. month to month I could maybe entertain, almost no one who drives an f150 truck who fills up once a month would care though.

Heres the data back back to '93 up to 2018 showing the stability of fuel prices week to week.

Platinum. Can't go wrong with it.

As far as aftermarket headlights, beware, the vast majority are NOT DOT or SAE compliant! The process is long and expensive, and some that claim to meet the standards, just barely do.

An example are the HID bulbs that they put in reflector housing. Off Road Only, they are not DOT Compliant. In projector housings, they must be between 4300K and 6000K to meet DOT and SAE specifications, but are still not considered DOT Compliant.

Note "Compliant", not "Approved", the DOT does not approve anything!

Yeah, I hate those aftermarket replacements myself, do it right, or don't do it.

It needs to change, the blinding is getting out of hand.
i assume you’re talking about JW speaker lights. Jeep has never put blinding curcular DRLS on a wrangler or anything until the new JL. not even remotely blinding even now.

36 gallon tank. I fill up about every three weeks and almost never look at the gas gauge. Next would be tailgate step.
