Fuel for Thought

Happy Christmas Eve

I followed this weather system from Del Rio, Texas to Detroit. I ran the diagonal just where the ice met the rain and still managed to stay on my less-miles route. Here is a sample of fuel prices from Texas to Michigan:

$3.48 Laredo Exxon (Shiloh and McPherson)

$3.59 Schertz, TX Shell (I-35 and rt 3009)

$3.49 Sherman, TX Exxon (I-35 and Lamar)

$3.64 Lebanon, MO Conoco

$3.59 St Louis, MO Shell

$3.87 Defiance, OH Meijer

$3.78 Grand Rapids, MI BP (Cascade)

I’m now only on my fifth load for the month, but the last three have been 1000+ mile loads. I’m currently en route to Jacksonville, Florida with a Friday morning delivery.

A Merry Christmas to everyone.
