Ah, I get it now. The older you get the more you select lower and lower strenuous activities to add to the bucket list. Keep going and taking a spin around the block in a motorized wheel chair becomes exciting. Not knocking sky diving but hardly a workout. Jump out, let gravity do all the work, then pull a ripcord. That is if you are solo, tandem you are just a spectator. again, no harm here but this is apples and daisies.

Entered Alberta today. Fuel 1.82.9L. About 5.55 US. Tar sands capital. Enjoy Yellow head highway. Railroad tracks parallel most of the way so far since Winnepeg. Light traffic away from cities. Road from some poor sections to excellent on many long sections. Rest mostly good. Very flat mostly. Interesting scenery. Several collections of 50's vehicles along highway. One 50 miles west of Saskatoon had at least 100 50's pickups. Many provincial parks campgrounds along the way and others. Prices lower than in US. Haven't seen any over 1\4 full yet.

I am very glad that I have 200 gallon tank so I can drive through CA without having to buy any fuel!!!

Just crossed into Oregon for some provisions and a top off. Good thing it was not as empty as the needle indicated. Bad thing it was still near 6/gallon and a $799 receipt. Just don't like how it makes me feel. lol

Arizona used to stick the tanks entering and exiting the state and tax you on the fuel used in state.

AZ doesn't do that any longer,don't look for any help I see July futures in oil are around the $120.00 a barrel mark ,we still get 8 cents a gal off at the RV pumps though lol that will probably go away before long

With the adoption of IFTA most states were able to stop doing things like this and still get paid for fuel burned in their states. Commercial drivers can fill up anywhere, and the taxes paid will work out in the end - the computerized system works its magic and you pay for where you actually drive.

We as non-commercial drivers are the ones that have to be careful and fill up before entering states with higher fuel taxes if we want to save a few pennies.

Some states like OR have mileage taxes trucks can use the cab permit RV'ers pay the extra taxes on fill up it was 25 cents above the posted price at truck stops

All I've got to say about skydiving is that it was a big let down.
