[RC] Fuel Prices - DreamWeaverOn my last trip (1200 miles), I paid between $1.94 and $2.15. Just two weeks before that I went to another ride, this one probably only 900 miles round trip and diesel was $1.76 a gallon on the road, and $1.69 locally, but I saw it at $2.39 in some spots (which is even higher now). There were stations where it is upwards of .30 to .80 a gallon more depending upon where you are at. I would like to add an additional fuel tank, at least another 40 gallons that way when I fill up, I can put in 80 or more gallons and if I save .30 a gallon each time that would be $24 on nearly every trip I take. In some cases it might as much as .50 a gallon savings so that would be $40.00. If anybody knows of a good deal on an auxiliary diesel fuel tank please let me know! I figure that the additional weight won't matter, the truck seems to get the same mileage whether or not I am hauling 1 or 2 horses or 20 or 200 gallons of water. I'd also like to not have to worry about finding a fair price on diesel on a trip every 400 miles or so. When I travel by myself I seldom like to stop unless absolutely necessary.Karen in NV ============================================================ In my experience (22 year worth) most endurance riders are great people who will go out their way to help and be friendly. ~ Laura Hayes ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
