Rattlecan ★ Posted August 9, 2022 Share #7 Posted August 9, 2022 Road trip to Florida coming up in February. I hope the prices have come down by then, but I will research the prices state by state before we go to determine if we go by way of Buffalo or Detroit. The map shows about a 20 minute difference in travel time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted August 9, 2022 Share #8 Posted August 9, 2022 We're at like $3.79. I worry if it goes any lower, we won't be able to afford any infrastructure projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to be really scientific and determine what the extra 20 minutes of travel time will cost in terms of gasoline burned and if the savings will make up for the shorter trip. Now perfection would be if the shorter trip was also the one with the less expensive gasoline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted August 9, 2022 Share #14 Posted August 9, 2022 It's between $3.69 (Costco) and $3.79 at most places within a few miles of me. Maryland's gas tax jumped from 36 to 43 cents/gal. on July 1st and it's now one of the highest in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trucks that get into the 20s!!! When I was a kid, Americans could depend on our cars getting mileage in the teens and trucks getting single digit mpg! And then we screwed it all up, and now there is no way to pay for anything. Less fill-ups equals less $$$ for The Man to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New York Thruway, and the West Virginia Turnpike, can be avoided by going the other way. Neither one is a big deal really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted August 9, 2022 Share #20 Posted August 9, 2022 I have a QT on one route at $3.79. Most are still at least $4.29. The cheap QT has access issues but still less hassles than waiting at Sam’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted August 9, 2022 Share #28 Posted August 9, 2022 re2da0ct2ed4 I was going to give date, but redacted it, with apologies, based on the possibility it might be viewed as a potentially political comment. 3 hours ago, Razors Edge said: Less fill-ups equals less $$$ for The Man to spend.
