    Hi All:

    Now it gets serious. ;)

    Thanks in part to this current $0.10/gal off fuel price discount from the Love's Truck Stop app, I took advantage. The Pilot station stop was supposed to offer $0.10/gal from their app but only offered $0.05/gal so I stopped planning to use one of their fuel stops with others at a lower price.

    Hi All:

    For the return to Nashville, I stopped at the lowest price station between Brunswick and Nashville. That ended up being Adairsville, GA at $2.489 with the $0.10 off per gallon app discount. There was a Buc-ee's across the street at $2.499 but I was getting used to Love's so Love's it was and I saved a few cents. ;)

    The Buc-ee's also had Ethanol Free Fuel. 87 Octane was $0.50 more per gallon than E10 at $2.99. They also had 93 Octane E0 at $3.199, just $0.10 over 93 Octane E10. 93 Octane, E0 fuel for $3.199/gal is a steal imho. If you need premium fuel that is.

    Whoa! A Bellingham, WA station (yes, that is in western WA) has gas for $2.899 per gallon. Our local gasoline is still selling for a dastardly $4.049 per gallon.

    Hi All:

    I made my way to Chicago but first, pick the lowest price fuel for the next 4 states. The Love's $0.10/gal off came in handy yet again.

    Hi All:

    After the Nashville to Louisville run and Chicago to Libertyville, IL job, I had to drive from Chicago to Appleton, WI yesterday. Along the way with a $0.20/gal discount on the Fuel Rewards App in hand, I refueled in Milwaukee.

    Hi All:

    And like all good road/work trips, there is always a return...

    [​IMG]
    10-22-2024 - Davenport, IA - Love's - $2.599​

    From here, I was called to head up to Minneapolis for two quick jobs before getting back on my path to CA.

    On the way back down towards IA, I was on an asphalt county road that was detoured to gravel roads to repair culverts or something. And the gravel roads turned into this while I was trying to get back on asphalt and drive into IA.

    10-23-2024 - Algona, IA - BP - $2.799​

    Unfortunately I had to stop at this somewhat expensive BP for < 2-gal fill as the less expensive fuel along the IA/NE border was 150-miles ahead and I was just about to touch low fuel.

    [​IMG]
    10-23-2024 - Sergeant, IA - Shell - $2.549​

    I used my T-Mobile and Fuel Rewards discount of $0.20/ga to refuel on the IA/NE border above. Next stop, the Rockies!

    [​IMG]
    10-24-2024 - Thornton, CO - Shell - $2.569​

    Remember it was just over a week ago when I was driving on the lowest elevation US Interstate in the US, the I8 across CA and parts of AZ. A little over 100' below sea level near El Centro, CA. And of course what would a road trip be if we did not cross the highest US Interstate elevation in the US on the I70 over the Rockies.

    A UT sunset was a nice stop. With a rest area stop shortly after UT at night in the middle of nowhere, the Milky Way Galaxy was in clear view above. My Smartphone cannot pick that up unfortunately.

    10-25-2024 - Utah on the I70.​

    With even more expensive fuel ahead, it was time to complete shorter distance fills and grab the least expensive fuel as I made my way west.

    10-25-2024 - Filmore, UT - Love's - $3.099

    [​IMG]
    10-25-2024 - Las Vegas, NV - Sam's Club - $3.279​

    And finally back in California.

    [​IMG]
    10-25-2024 - NV/CA border on the 15​

    I have approximately half a tank left and will consume that in short order only to refuel at some of the highest prices in the US before heading back to TN next week.

    Hi All:

    And back to the California grind. And it "aint" cheap.

    North San Diego county is on average more expensive than OC, LA, Riverside, and West San Diego county. That said, this local non-brand was competitive at $4.099 if paid in cash.

    10-28-2024 - Oceanside, CA - G&M - $4.099​

    With the recent WTI oil price settling down in the $70.60/bbl range today, prices have come off their recent small jump. That said, this Costco dropped prices by a dime earlier today so why not.

    [​IMG]
    10-31-2024 - Escondido, CA - Costco - $3.899​

    I will be heading back to TN in just a few days and hopefully we will experience some of that low energy, winter fuel, price decrease through to the end of the year.

    We're right around $3.30 in the suburbs. Very cheap. I can tell by the cars
    ( and trucks ) passing me at +35 on the highway. Too cheap.

    I can tell by my lack of driving AND my 1500 miles of walking, that our atrocious local $4.19 gas prices are too high. Several area stations think $4.19 is too low, selling gas for $4.299 per gallon.

    Hi All:

    Another three days, another trek across the country.

    The most surprising result was in Phoenix where I found a Costco selling a gallon for just $2.699. Most fuel in the area was at $2.899 to $3.299. Oh well, I will take it! The $2.219 paid in Oklahoma City, OK was also a surprise and I only needed a gallon out of the Sam's Club Amarillo, TX to get there.

    11-3-2024 - Tucumcari, NM - Love's - $2.419

    [​IMG]
    11-4-2024 - Amarillo, TX - Sam's Club - $2.349

    [​IMG]
    11-4-2024 - Oklahoma City, OK - Love's - $2.219

    [​IMG]
    11-4-2024 - Memphis, TN - Circle K - $2.449​

    I passed a Sam's Club in Nashville, TN yesterday morning at $2.489. Later in the evening as the election was winding down, it had jumped to $2.729. I guess the election is over and some of our lower fuel costs across the country are gone for a good long time.
