January 1, paid 3.059 per gallon.

In Missouri yesterday, 4.599 per gallon.
Missouri is actually pretty cheap. In KS last night, it was $4.799 a gallon. Tell me why the .20 cent difference??? Makes no sense. But hubby says that he sees it all the time. And now the fuel is cheaper up north, figure that one out???

What more food for thought?

Truckstop I buy fuel at each week. Comdata and credit card same price.
Cash same price. If you have the cash card that you can fund and pay with drops the price $4.00 per hundred. Works out to about .17 less.

It has been $4.99 9/10 around columbus Indiana for the past two weeks. These are not at truck stops though so that might have something to do with it.
