Diesel Prices Are Going Up Really Fast

[sheridany]

Based on diesel prices and housing I'm going to launch a new RV roommates forum. "RV room for rent, spacious 25 sqft"

Must like dogs that watch TV late at night and pineapple pizza.

I currently have 135 gals of the precious Diesel in the RV from last year (yes it's been treated) - that's a lot of money sitting there. My Sis and BIL full timers are telling us to come up and hang out with them about 20 miles north of home - I told them I'd drive the jeep to visit. I'm retired, on SSA and I can pull from my 401k but seeing how much it'll cost to just get out of FL is shocking. I can get from Sarasota to Diamond Caverns in Kentucky on 1/2 tank (75 gals). Used to be around $250 to fill back to full. Now it'll be a little over $425. Ouch. Guess I'll stay closer to home.

Diesel, being the fuel that drives the country, may soon be subject to rationing. Truckers, farmers, trains, (yep trains),
planes (Jet A) to anything that moves are feeds the nation is going to lead the pecking order.

(This came to me in a dream, so it might mean nothing)
But...where on the fuel chain would we be?

What kind of mileage you get, I get 6-8. My Monaco is at Gerzeny's in Nokomis and I need to bring it home to Marion IL when it's done.
I go 75 to 10 and then up 231 to 65 to Nashville to avoid Atlanta and Chattanooga. so it's a little farther than straight 75. Around 1000 miles.

I just ran it up and at 6 mpg, the worst I'll get, I figured 165 gallons of diesel. $1000 if it's $6 a gallon.
Ouch.

But...where on the fuel chain would we be? We will be forced to turn in our RV's for destruction. Anyway it wouldn't surprise me.

There are two sides, to some it's leisure use, to others it's their home. I hope it never comes to who is allowed to get diesel. It could, we are a very spoiled country that has never really had to deal with things like that.

We traveled 2700 miles from south Florida to Montana over the last 2 weeks. Our average fuel cost was 5.02 but will say that we saw fuel go up about .25 per gallon the last week.

Man it's hard NOT to get political here I just pray all those discontented will exercise their right to vote (in a new administration). This Country is FLUSH with carbon based energy... (Sorry Neal)
