Ouch on the fuel bill! If I remember right, that only lasts you a few days too.

About a day and a half

Tell me how ya really feel :rolf:

That said, I'd never considered having 45 days of supply built up but know this country burns an insane amount of fuel daily so it makes sense to an extent.

All this is bullshit, these stupid/not so stupid ****s know exactly what's going on this is all purposely being done, 2019 was the start, all this was supposed to went down when Hillary Clinton won in 2016, but she didn't. A Democrat was supposed to win in 2016

It's all very interesting indeed.

Noticed over the weekend that diesel was around $3.85 a gallon in the Lebanon, TN while still being $4.40 a gallon in the Murfreesboro, TN area.

Diesel dropped $0.40 per gallon overnight to $3.99 again. Still a $1.50 more per gallon than 87 octane with ethanol though.

Must be nice. Still 4.89 or so north of atlanta

TMac · Dec 13, 2022

Gas $2.89
Diesel $4.59

Southeast Missouri. It dropped 20 cents or so in the last week. Its all because of Bidens top leadership that we can enjoy this drop

These two stations are less than a mile apart. Guess which one can accommodate truckers.

I've always thought it was messed up that stations that cater to truckers are more expensive.

Yeah. And this one isn't even a dedicated truckstop. Just happens to have a small row of truck pumps. Nothing but greed

You need go into a truck stop and just look at the prices of stuff on the shelf. A 1$ pack or ramen noodles is 3$ and pretty much everything else is double or triple priced. It sad that the people who keep this country moving gets taken advantage of. Remember, if god didn't put it there a truck brought it
