right now it is just shy of 300 bucks to fill my tank, diesel up here is 7.19/us gal where our normal price was 4.96 a couple months ago.
is it going to effect my plans.. not realy I may drive 55mph instead of 65mph but thats about it. hopefully it drops down again soon though.

Yah. Either way it’s ugly. They are having a little gas war here in Vernon. 1.70 litre here. We drive an electric SUV and sold our diesel pusher last year so haven’t bought gas in years and diesel since last year. But its definitely the go to topic of conversation here. Ugh. Makes it tough for some folks to make ends meet. Hope it gets better for them. Wonder if it will make the campgrounds emptier this year. We are hooking up the trailer tonight and headed out for a 4 day camping trip tomorrow. Guess we’ll find out. Although this time of year it’s not uncommon to see empty spots in the parks anyway.
Safe travels.
