I may start driving at 50 rather than 65.

Starting a 3 to 4 week trip next month. Will the insanity stop! $5.40 here on OR

Diesel prices established a new all-time high overnight. The national average is now at $5.85, surpassing a high that had been set in the spring of 2022.

75 gals put on yesterday, I didn't even look at the price. Waiting on the Open Roads settlement to see but I saw 5.87'ish on the drive up from SC to NC.

We are in New Mexico, and posted prices are $5.85-$5.99, but that was yesterday.

I've been using my Discover Card that gives 5% back on fuel, which has been better than OR, GL, or Mudflap.

I was turned down for a payday loan the other day; they said I needed to have a payday to qualify. Oh well, I have checks in my checkbook, so I guess I still have money in the bank.

We are doing a lot of boondocking in the BLM land, and the RV parks we've passed are mostly empty.

Of course the prices are the highest, I leave Sunday for a three week trip

Open Roads let me down the other day. At a SC Loves, I put 84 gal in the tank and saved a whopping $7.54.

My last T/A fill up prior to this one I didn't get much discount either. I haven't tried Greenlane yet, short trip, not worth the learning right now.

It is Labor day weekend, hopefully prices will drop next week.
