Our trip point was 4.03 per gallon for diesel.(a 20% increase factor) That was calculated at the beginning of our travel year based on the national average for diesel at that time. Our projected travel budget for the year had that 20% factor figured in. Diesel is near, at or over that number now. We have to get back to Ohio no matter what the price of fuel next month. We have been adjusting as we go along and we are still under all over budget at this time. We have already deleted two rallies this summer and fall and our New England trip will be the next cut if things continue as they are. We have no choice but to stay within available funds. If you read the finanical news you know that the oil demand is down..supply is up.Near everything else in the economy is down but prices on everything are up due to our failing Dollar. Things will get much worse and even the most fortunate of us will feel the effect.
