I took a trip this summer up north and paid about 40 to 50 cents a gallon more than Florida in NY, MA, and Pa. you guys are getting screwed. SC, VA, and GA are about 15 50 20 cents cheaper than FL. That make them up to 70 cents cheaper than NY. Now how could that be? They say that the more you spend the more fun you have so I must have had a great time going 4200 miles @ 10 mpg @ $5 a gallon. To tell the truth the fuel was far from our biggest expense, and we did have a lot of fun.

Just hit $3.98 in Sunnyvale, at a pricier station. WM will be less. I'll be filling-up in Bowie @ WM on the way to Amarillo. Overnite there or Childress.


I have a sweet tender nature, however I enjoy sharing my thoughts and opinions.

Our reason for buying a diesel is simple. We did not feel safe with our gasser towing the trailer we had at the time. Worrying about it heating up, or having to find a gas station every 100 miles really put a damper on things. That is the way we felt about our situation. The decision was the right one for us...no regrets.

My reason for buying gas was simple. I did not want to smell diesel. I did not want to hear diesel. I did not want the extra weight of a diesel engine.

I am satisfied with this choice and would make the same decision if I were to do it again.
