A great reminder, thanks. We are in Portland Oregon, where today diesel is $2.71. There is no tax advantage to buying fuel here even if it is cheaper. PLUS we get charged 13 cents a mile tax to drive on their roads!! Figure 9 mpg and add that to the fuel and it's way expensive, plus we would be driving in surrounding states with full tanks so we will owe more for that driving too. Oregon is very not truck friendly.
