The per unit cost increased $3 in the last 30 days? What was the per unit cost 30 days ago? How many fluid oz per unit?
I paid $11.65 for one gal today. Was $8 and change last month.

Sheesh, increase of 45%. Crop yield problems in the present, gouging ahead of perceived fertilizer shortage/crisis @ 2022-2023 planting year, other / all of the above. (?)

As I have described @ least once before @ this thread, prices are rising haed 'n fast throughout Europe, including the European Union states and the so-called European Area (i.e., non-EU) states. Huge hits yesterday to the economies and thus End-of-May outlooks for BULGARIA, FINLAND, LATVIA, & LITHUANIA. But those data will not be available until 31 May.
Meantime, this is where INFLATION stands @ EU and European Area states as of 30 April 2022:
THE GOOD
............................................................Rate of Inflation
THE NOT SO GOOD
............................................................Rate of Inflation
THE EVEN MORE NOT SO GOOD
............................................................Rate of Inflation
THE BAD
............................................................Rate of Inflation
THE UGLY
............................................................Rate of Inflation
THE WTF

Has the price for peanuts -- whole/in-shell ~ raw/roasted -- also risen by a lot?
Not really sure...I just happened to notice the price on the shelf. I would imagine the rise in oil prices takes it toll on every industry...farm equipment /shipping trucks included.
EDIT:
Peanut prices received by farmers for all farmer stock peanuts averaged 25.5 cents per pound for the week ending May 14, unchanged from the previous week.
I'm curious - what's the milage (real world) you guys are getting from pickup trucks?
I've had pickup trucks my entire life, but last few years have just been driving a car and doing fine with that.
I see Chevy is saying 23 city\30 highway for a half ton, and wonder if that's true?
EDIT: nevermind, I see the V8 trucks are estimated at 17 city, 20 highway - that sure seems more reasonable.

That's better -- like, across the board better -- than I get w/ my '57 Chrysler 300 and its HEMI motor.

PS: Hell, my (two) Willys jeeps don't do much better 'n your Ram 1500... myabe 15~17 town 'n 22 @ hwy.
Maybe it was a diesel you saw ?
I am pretty sure that the "new" tech used in vehicles has a lot to do with the MPG. I don't think the HEMI would do as well if it was stripped of all the sensors and computers. Probably be in the same area of your HEMI.

Circa 2010 I calculated the "overall" MPG for the 300C to be around 9 USG/Mile. Ouch, right?
Had a buddy in HS (late '60's) that had a '57 Desoto-hemi. It was always thirsty. Won a lot of street races though.

Was it the Fireflite or Adventurer model? Do you recall if it had the 354 cui? Or maybe it was fitted with a 392 cui?
