Folks:
It's 3000 miles, give or take, across this great country. At 10 miles/gallon that's 300 gallons. If fuel were 1/2 of what it is now, that would be $2.25 for me (diesel). Multiply that by the 300 gallons and you have a $750 difference for the increased cost. If it takes you 3 months to make the trip, that's $250/month increased cost maximum. If we watch it by not eating out so much and using some good judgment in spending, we can save that and more. What's the problem with staying with our plans and just conserving a bit?
Well stated SusiDave, Thank you.
It is easier to complain than to come up with solutions and alternatives. This is a huge problem and RVing is just one aspect of it. Since this is an RVing forum it would make sense that rants, raves, suggestions, solutions would be RV oriented. The Internet is full of political sites to discuss the topic sans RV's.
Every little bit helps, "a penny saved is a penny earned". If you try to solve the whole thing at once it would be too overwhelming for any one individual and never get resolved. Other then "giving up" it would be more productive to see more solutions included here that individuals could start today. Don't wait for someone else to take care of you, it will never happen. The 4th of July suggestion in the video link posted previously http://www.afa.net/newtvideo.html is something every individual could be involved in. 3 days till the 4th, with tenacity... YOU can make a difference.
