Fuel Prices

I know... even the 300-500 hour seems conservative to me, especially if we are talking this larger operations that do alot of work with trucks. How many gallons of gas does one semi hold?I was thinking based on a 24 hour day...not just peak times...I imagine there are perhaps hours that go by at night w/ no fueling at some of these stations.

On the plus side, it's easier to convince the wife that I should just run race fuel all the time, since the price diff isn't very much

I'm w/ you there blake, any of the bigger stations (say Flying J, Fleetfarm, Tesoro Truck stop, etc...) have a line of people waiting to buy gas at times. 300-500 gallons per hour or more might be more realistic for those guys and I'm thinking if you're not pushing 50+ vehicles per day through at the small stations you're gonna be in trouble...
also some gas stations make up to 50 Cents a gallon -
possibly $3 by mid-summer
how shitty -

It is his choice.
Me personally I wouldn't sell it.

We had an expert on the show today that said we can expect prices to keep rising for at least a couple months. Get used to it guys. Also, I was reading a chart that said gas is cheaper now than it was in 1981 (when adjusted for inflation). But that bothers me. Isn't that when we had that terrible gas shortage? It damn well better be cheaper now...

i'm curious to see how much more pizza hut is going to give us drivers per delivery; i mean... we already get the shaft at $.75, when papa-john's gives $1-1.5 and chinese gives $1-3.
i guess that just means i'll definitely have to stop driving next semester and use the free bus all the time (being a student has it's perks) -

you're aleady selling your srt4, maybe you should reconsider?Nah, I decided not to sell my SRT, just isn't feasible at this time. But I am selling my truck, its not necessary right now and the extra cash would be pretty good.
