Wow, we are hoping to go west this year. Maybe we will have to forget about at least a portion of our western tour.

On the positive side, Diesel is less than regular.

That would keep the 6.4L in the driveway and if it stayed that way...206.00 per tank the truck and camper would become a very large lawn ornament. That would be @54500 per thousand miles towing.We are still at 4.099 to 4.239 (shell) but we have not been out yet today.

I don't doubt that picture at all. When we were in Death Valley two years ago their fuel prices were about a dollar per gallon more than the surrounding communities. But at those prices we'd be sitting in one place longer even than we do now.

We are re-thinking our travel plans for this summer. Most likely will stay at CG's closer to home. Trip planned was 2000 miles one way at 10 MPG, or about $1600 just for fuel for the trip. Consider ride around site seeing, etc.,
Economy is going down the tubes!!!

As bad as that is, and it is BAD, for the 2 years we lived in the bush, that would be considered cheap! Real cheap...

Paid $4.11 in Cottonwood today at a no name station. Shell was showing diesel at 4.49. They sure are proud of their gas. I think the Chevron was 4.49 also........

4.14 to 4.20 per gallon here in NW Iowa. We seem to be about a lot more expensive than regular gas here for the past year. Would be nice to see diesel drop back down below gas prices. But I won't hold my breath waiting for it.

It is $4.05 here for diesel. Colorado but you have to look for it. Some stations are higher. We get discounts where we buy groceries, about 10 cents a gallon off. This price above was without the discount. With a different grocery card we got 3 cents off that price.
