How often do yall stop to fuel with rising rates?

Once a day, in the morning. Never go to sleep with full tanks. Just enough to run the Apu and get me to the Stop of choice.

 

heard to many stories. If it happens at $3 a gallon imagine what happens at $6 a gallon.

I ain’t sitting on a pile of gold with my eyes closed. If they get me all they get is fumes. I fill enough to get me through the day and park.

 

Usually every 4 days as I don’t venture far. Now its better to fuel everyday as you will save money over waiting till tomorrow lol.

 

I usually fuel up when my tanks almost empty ...unless im going through super cheap fuel state ...normaly my cascadia last 1200-1400 miles ...will be fueling up more often my t660 starting next week

 

I usually fuel every day but going through expensive states ill wait for cheaper fuel. Or like today i filled up a second time when i saw how much fuel will spike tomorrow.

 

Old fart here.
During the oil embargo of 1979 when the Iranians took over our embassy and held the staff hostage for over a year the early parts of that fiasco may give you an idea of what may happen.

1. Truck stops were almost all short of fuel and rationing purchases to less than 50 gallons. If you think you were going to just get to the back of the line and get another 50, the other guys convinced you other wise with a tire thumper.
Fuel lines at most truck stops had many dozens of trucks waiting to get fuel. You might wait in line only to have the attendant put a sign in the middle of the line saying this is the last truck after you had waited for 3-6 hours.
2. Supply varied wildly by state or region. Some areas were awash in the stuff, others none to be found.
3. The 55 mile per hour national speed limit was put into place for the express purpose of saving fuel. It stayed in place for 23 years.
4. Fuel theft and associated violence was beyond common. Prices more than doubled in less than 60 days and never went back to pre '79 prices.
5. Threatened truck strikes and shutdowns were frequent, wildcat in nature. No social media. Enforcement with concrete blocks off of overpasses or shots fired through windows of strikebreakers was not unheard of.

 

@Studebaker Hawk with just about everything, once companies get a taste of the money, they usually don’t drop prices anymore.

it becomes the new norm. Diesel might go down some. But it’s going to stay above $4 from now on.
