I have known about this trend..... like I said.... all my life. I was just commenting on the way some of the people report that fuel is up or down 2 cents or 35 cents. It's like a roller coaster that will not end....except on the more and higher prices.
And to restate, a few folks don't even look at the pump or worry about it when filling one of the fuel guzzlers up, because they have plenty of income or money to do so and not bat an eye at the prices per gallon. Just need to face reality....fuel prices will never go down and stay down they will always come back up and higher in the end.
If I were driving an RV and the price of fuel at a station were $5.50 a gallon I would turn it off and and leave it. Let's see...at $5.50 a gallon for gas that would be about $300 for about 55 gallons for the typical class a, maybe even more with a bigger tank or on dead empty (they are around 75 capacity). Now....a diesel is going to be a little different. I think the usual capacity for their tank or tanks is about 100 gallons or more. So it would be maybe around $450 for smaller tanks and maybe $800 for bigger ones.
I am not trying to be argumentative correct me if I am wrong about these figures.
