    Latest fuel I got (yesterday) was $1.29 a litre = $4.87 a US gallon. Curious what everybody else is paying, and how this is affecting them. Fuel keeps taking a bigger
    bite out of revenue with every increase.

    I thought I saw diesel for $4.07 a gallon in Baltimore yesterday. If you have a smartphone here in the states you can download GasBuddy.com and get fuel prices either by zip code or nearest location. It will give you diesel prices but does not tell you whether the station has enough room for tractor trailer to fuel there though.

    Most of the winter I have paid around $ 3.86 here in Florida, currently $ 3.83. Big truck stops are now around $ 4.05 to $ 4.15. I always buy at a smaller place, the big chains are just too expensive.

    Actually Jokingypsy that site i posted is showing a couple of stops along that route at $4.099 gal (big pool Exxon) MD
    Pretty cool site to use for O/O in my opinion, of course it relies on folks to post the prices.

    NASTC tells you your price the day ahead of time at every stop in the network.

    Baltimore TA today is $3.9926/g.

    Its the cold weather, prices dipped a little last week when it started to warm up. Now they're on the rise again.
    I hate idling but I spent most of the week north of I80 , I've only shut off the truck once for 10 minutes to check oil. At 1.5 gallons an hour it costs me around $60 a night to sleep in the truck.:biggrin_25510:
