Just to make the mud a little clearer, the picture has changed as of today. Today's prices are $2.999 in Ocala and $2.839 in Tipton. That makes the after tax cost slightly less in Georgia. For today the optimum plan would be to purchase at least enough gallons in Fl. to cover the gallons burned in Fl. and to buy at least as many in Ga. as will be burned there. Where to buy the remainder of what the tanks will hold depends on where you go after exiting Ga. You would have to compare where you are going to Fl. to determine which is better. The main point is that this changes on a daily basis and you have to do your research to get the lowest overall cost.
