Cost Of Gas

The last time I got gas it was Saturday I filled two six gallon tanks and my pick up truck $3.85 per gallon for regular…
 
I sure wish diesel would drop . $5.00 cash here. I guess the truckers protest was a bust . Then again the government only cares for its self . No surprise.
 
When I worked in a refinery ('72 til '86) Frankie diesel was the easiest fuel there was to make as it takes the least processing. But as you mentioned, the oil companies know the truckers have to have it.

The Federal tax on gasoline is 18. 4 cents The federal tax on diesel is 24.4 cents..

And that’s not including state taxes which on average Are higher for diesel than it is for gasoline….

WE have city and municipal tax on top of all that here, but we have no state income tax

You two have a safe trip and enjoy the ride ,

I am also going to the glamp , to see if my screen room can be resurrected after Monday’s snow collapsed the roof :gah:
 
I passed at least 50 gas stations on my Ride today and some gas stations are up $.10-$.25 cents a gallon from just Sunday… people are driving more supply and demand…
 
I recently joined Shell Rewards program that gives $.05 off per gallon. The ran a promotion where your third fillip is $.30 off per gallon.

Most stations in the area are $3.89-$3.99 for regular gas. On my way home from North Carolina tonight, I found a station that was $3.59. When I stopped to fill up, it turned out to be my 4th fill up. Brought it to $3.29 per gallon. Kinda like winning a small lottery. :clapping:
 
Bill are you sharing your savings? We are going to take care of Sweetie’s mother in June, we are taking the RV so we will have a place to sleep when we get a break. Not looking forward to this trip, 1600 miles, I should average around 13mph, I am sure the price of Diesel will not be down.

Bluegrass festival season is finally ramping up to pre Covid levels. Most of our trips are between 100 and 200 miles from home with Galax being almost 350. The old Bounder with the 454 gets around 8 1/2 mpg. We squirreled away some tax refund money to supplement the fuel bill. Not gonna slow down too much. Ya never know how many more years I'll still be able to play.

Where are you going in June? Any chance it's close enough to pick together?
