Well, some of us live with a 'budget' for the amount of money we can spend monthly without getting into reserves or investments. More expense for fuel means less expense elsewhere. We have changed our lifestyle in some areas to accommodate our budget but there is a limit to doing that.
I also have to agree with Glenn. We put on about the same number of miles as he does. On our prior truck we put 51,000 miles in 15 months. That's 40,800/year. This truck will be 10 months old on the 25th of this month and will turn 30,000 miles tomorrow. The dollars add up in a hurry with that kind of mileage.
We filled up today in Belgrade, MT, on I-90, at a Flying J. The cash price was 2.739 for diesel. The closest town to where we are now is West Yellowstone, MT. Diesel there is 2.849 at every single station.
