Even with the pending election, the prices are not that low at this time. Almost $3 in my neck of the woods (which is in the woods).

So about $4.10 USD/gallon. I just paid $2.29 USD today with my gas discount card (30 cent Wednesday discount). Limited to 20 gallons. 15 cents on other days. Each discount is 15 cents and I have over a dozen to use on my account.

1978 Ford Falcon Cobra

In the US, the impressive high-performance tire shredders were extinct by 1978.

While the Mustang was now a Pinto-based econocar and the Torino GT was history, in Australia, Ford released an exciting muscle car that oozed Shelby vibes.

Based on the Falcon XC Hardtop, the Cobra received a bespoke Sno-White paint with blue Le Mans-style twin stripes and a series of aesthetic upgrades that made it look far more aggressive than its standard counterpart.

Under the hood, it hid either the 351-ci (first 200 cars) or the 302-ci (last 200) Cleveland V8, capable of 217 and 202 hp (SAE net), respectively.

Far cooler and more potent than the performance-looking, US-built Mustang King Cobra could run the quarter mile in the low-17-second range.

While that wasn't particularly impressive, especially when compared to earlier Aussie muscle cars, by 1978 standards, it was more than adequate for a performance-oriented ride.

At least "bogan" was spelled right. Considering the meaning of "bogan," whoever wrote the text might be one.
