    I can't find it for less than $4 a gallon here in the east bay area....most places are as high as $4.29/gallon. And to think....when I bought my rig July of last year I was getting it for as little as $2.95/gallon. :doah:

    I just got back from my weekly fill up;

    452.7 miles this week
    / 23.7 gallons @ $4.05 / gallon
    = 19.1 mpg & $96.13 for the week.

    That comes out to about $0.21 per mile... which is the same as what driving cost me in my Tacoma, which only got 16 mpg :doah:

    $3.89 a gallon here in Southeast Washington and still going up. Getting a biodiesel maker is sounding better and better.

    $3.80 - $3.99 in Colorado Springs, CO. Above $4.00 in the Mountians. What we really need is for all of the truckers in all industry to strike and park their rigs!!!!!!
