    LOL me too. About 6 years ago I got pulled over in NY and they were like where is your HUT sticker and I said what is HUT? LOL. They let me roll and I got it set up as soon as I got home.

    Also when you file the quarterly they should give a breakdown of what states you owed and which states you had a surplus. Then you can figure out if it’s worth it to buy more fuel in the states that you owed.
    I seldom buy fuel in Ga unless I need a shower.

    The way I see it, is you pay up front at the pump, or you get billed later by IFTA. In the end, it's a wash. I'm going to continue ignoring it. I've got more important things to do, like browse TTR.

    Note to self: If you drive 1,500 miles in New York, buy more than 20 gallons of diesel.

    Ninety bucks! The best was Virginia owing me $52, but their surcharge was $50. If you have "low" taxes and a surcharge, then how do you have low taxes?

    I thought I was being ESPECIALLY LAZY this quarter, and I drove almost the same exact amount as last quarter.

    I have to peel the Super Trucker sticker off my windshield and work harder.

    I did increase my MPG to 5.99 this time around vs 4.89 last quarter lolol. I think I enjoyed the rumble of the straight pipes a little to much.

    Your goal should be only to buy fuel at the cheapest price- price less state fuel tax. If you can get your fuel cheaper in the other states that's where to buy. Yep, sometimes your going to pay IFTA a little, sometimes a lot and sometimes get a refund. Paying more for fuel in high tax states like states like NY, PA And Cali just to lower your IFTA only makes sense if it is the cheapest fuel.
