Definitely!

As a transporter who (even though I am cutting back some) still runs close to 100K miles per year, fuel prices are the single most important expense I have. I am now filling up most of the time with diesel in my trucks at or below $3.00 per gallon in most of the country. When I get around states like Californication ,New Yuck, Etc I make sure I am filled up at the lower prices before entering. I can run around 600 miles on a fill up so (for the most part) those states get NONE of my money.

Perfect example : I sold my old enclosed trailer to a friend in Gettysburg, Pa & agreed to deliver it to him yesterday. I filled up here in Ohio for $2.99 per gal. for diesel just before the border, delivered the trailer & made it back to the same station late the same day saving a minimum of $1.00 per gallon for the trip.

God Bless
Bill

$2.63 for 87
It bounces around a lot here.
Between 2.60 to 2.99 - on any given day it can jump from 2.65 to 2.95.
Within a week or so it goes back down.

Did see a young man&woman on a moped/scooter the other day with a baby stroller hooked behind it.
The stroller wheels were wobbling and it was going side to side like a snake.
New age family sedan.

Baron, where I am I see all manner of highway insanity:

Teenage lovebirds on electric stand-up scooters doing 15 km/hr...

500cc 2 stroke microcars the size of pedal cars on national highways...

Mercedes and BMW's hooting with rage when you dare merge in front on a roundy

Traffic acts like a 20 foot Great White just swam by when the Lemans growls thru...
