Heck, there are stations around here where I could fill up for less than $15.
I just laid out a trip to my parents' house in Lake Tapps, WA. At 50mpg and average prices for gas stops in Sioux City, Sturgis, Bozeman, Coeur d'Alene, and a last fill up in Lake Tapps--it would cost less than $75. I never thought I would see that!

If I make a run for the Texas boarder gas prices drop about 40 cents a gallon.
But diesel prices don't change much till I get to Amarillo.

I am unsure that gas is any cheaper in Show Low, except at the carwash, it is 3¢ cheaper with cash than the last time that I checked.
It is 5¢ cheaper in Snowflake, half an hour away, and 10¢ cheaper in Whiteriver, almost an hour away.

E85 prices doesn't make economic sense to use it but I might start just to help out the local ethanol plants. Local ADM shut theirs down and laid off 90 people. E10 back up to $1.29-.35 IIRC Thursday E85 $1.15 I think.

Looks like they did here too. I wonder if they've switched to summer blend (even though I thought the deadline was pushed back)?

Help out the ethanol plants? I was thinking now is the time to switch back to E0 and help out the fracking industry. We could bump up fuel consumption ~5% from that.
