I topped off with fuel about a month ago because $3.38 seemed ok. We expected it to go up like everything else these days. We took a short trip to N Atlanta a week ago but I figured I was only down 30 gallons or so. Topped off again at Walmart near my home in N Georgia today because Diesel is was $3.20 a week ago, but today it is $3.08 a gallon!!!
Price down due to big Joe releasing the oil reserve? We are about to take a 10 day trip to Florida and probably Texas in January. Interested what others are seeing for prices. I try not to snivel about it. We go anyway because life is not a rehearsal. Not going to feel trapped here over fuel prices, but it seems odd with everything else going up.

What's going on down there to cause your fuel to jump so high. We're normally above the national average, but thus week I'm seeing unleaded gasoline drop to $2.85 and diesel getting down to about $3.25

Best you don't access any foreign sourced news...

Price of oil coming down, uncertainty over new varient...

If yours is staying high, you're being played!

Happy coaching!

That's one way to look at it Van. I'm the half-empty guy. Bigger tank - Bigger charge on the CC. :(
