RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

If they had an unneeded employee that didn't need to be replaced, they should have removed him first. That is the way it works in the private sector. You can't have extra people in case you need them. When you add a new job and don't add employees, that has to mean they had too many to start with.

I PAYED 301 FOR GAS IN MEMPHIS TN SUNDAY.

This just in from the internet:

"GasBuddy reported this week that this year’s Aug. 1 nationwide average gasoline price of $3.509/gal is the lowest in four years.

In addition, GasBuddy Chief Oil Analyst, Tom Kloza told Benzinga that some broad sections of the country could see gasoline priced at $3 a gallon or less by the end of the year."

I'm not going to start planning a party but this is good news. We have a 3,000 trip coming up in ten days to..... gasp, California!!!(Cha Ching!) :E Fortunately this quarter our chase Visa is giving us 5% back on gas purchases and that will certainly help as well.

I agree it hasn't got much cheaper if any, at least where we are, but 6 years of inflation hasn't affected it one bit. As gasoline needs continue to fall due to higher mileage vehicles and alternative energy vehicles (or even the threat thereof), I can see a pressure to keep prices from getting out of hand. Still think that sooner or later it is going to go up though.

Cars are getting more efficient with the same power as before. The motor in the car I have is the same as the 2014, except the 2014 requires 0W-20. The big difference is the CVT transmission, lower rpms on the highway yielding 28% better gas mileage.

Yepir. I think this progression will continue in the next few years. It will have to. Electric vehicles with 200 miles of range under 40,000 dollars in the next two years. Designed and made in the US by a US company. This is all good. Nothing wrong with cleaner air.

It is way fun to look back over 6 years to the spring of 2008 and see the comments and the prices. Prices were higher back then and doom and gllom of parking the RV that year or the next were predomoninant. Now fuel is getting cheaper and cheaper and there are more RV's than ever on the road. Too funny. :)

Well, gasoline prices have dropped down another 3¢ a gallon. Mostly to $3.43.
