I didn't lecture you clown. You just lectured yourself. You made stupid fricking assumptions based on information you knew nothing about, my companies.

450 miles per tank AVERAGE with 2 vehicles and 4 kids? LOL. You can throw any figures you want to make your dumb assumptions work, we aren't buying.

You told me I was a doing it wrong! GFY. "company not paying for that" (or something along those lines).

I stated we are saving several hundreds dollars per month and somehow you feel the need to insert your wisdom into that statement?

And you are absolutely lying in your calculations...And your know it.

Just saw that your location is "in your car"..."financial advisor"....."own my own company"........" company owned truck"........60000 miles per year"..

LOL....you're doing it wrong!

mike, you should want to pay more for everything. It's the only honest viewpoint.

Paying less money for something is bad.

I can see 60K mile/year. I put 39000 miles a year on my truck just commuting to and from work. I aint complaining about cheaper diesel, but I'm not happy with the hiccup in O&G right now, either.

about 35k-40k of that is just work...the rest is weekends, baseball tourneys, hunting/fishing trips, vacations, etc

it adds up quick....when I trade in my trucks every 2 years they usually have 115k-120k miles on them

I stand by my original post. You somehow thought you knew my situation, autos, driving habits, mpg etc.....why? I'll never know.

I spoke of savings, you jump in and llecture me on how I'm doing it wrong. WTF?

On the lying part, no family averages 450 miles per tank on 2 vehicles that has 4 kids, unless they drive Corollas. That includes your family and it includes your vehicle if you use it for all of the other things you mentioned.
YOU DON'T AVERAGE 450, PERIOD!

Point being, I know if I'm saving several hundred dollars per month...or wait, now your gonna tell me I'm banking wrong.

You're right I prob average a little more than 450 miles per tank.

35 gal tank and I average 14-15 mpg. Ford150 King Ranch Ecoboost. Like I said I drive approx 180-200 miles a day.

However, now I realize who you are. You're the senseless idiot that emailed the AD at Lusher about a kid that shot the bird at a soccer game.
I'm done with you.

Anybody know anybody that was affected?


Yes. Both of my parents work at the Belle Chasse office. They have retained their jobs, but they let go most of the Belle Chasse staff and moved them to Houma. Some of their bosses in Houston and Sugarland have been let go.

My aunt at the New Orleans office still has a job, but others have been let go.

FWIW my mom has removed all the stuff in her office and expects the axe soon. She can retire if they decide to "let her go" so it isn't a problem for her.

There you go with the lies again. You said my wife and I should be averaging that, and now you spew out this bullshite about your larger (double normal) tank. WIth your logic, you would have used a much smaller tank in your example of milage therefore going well below 450 per.

You have little integrity, and it shows now.

Yes, but you are too naive to understand my position I was in to do so. Why don't you contact him and ask why he felt the need to respond to the group within minutes? You only go off of your TD short sided thoughts that you gather from kids posting.

You have shown your true self today in your babbling lies about MY savings and how I should run my Co's.

NO WAY your the boss ANd yes, you are thru with me

I did you fricking idiot. I used 26 gal tank averaging 17 mph in my estimations.

So let's say you only average 15 mpg, I wasn't that far off.

Christ have mercy you're dumb.


BTW. I know Landrum personally. My kids go to lusher. We had a good laugh about your dumbass during football season.
