I know of a few folks who have the fuel tax chart taped inside their logbook and do plan their fuel purchases.
Where do you find this chart? I've found lists from 2003, 2005, etc. but not recent.
How often do these rates change?
Even though we don't pay for the fuel, I'd still like to know how this is figured and how we can plan fuel purchases to be advantageous for our owner.

Re: Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that?

We are online in our truck and every run look at full prices along that run. I can often find a $0.15 within states let alone looking at state to state differences. I top off in cheap states when heading to the coasts. If I am forced to buy full on the coast I buy just enough to get back to a cheaper state. I average $0.15 less than the national average, thus saving the boss $150.00 on 10K miles. I have found that picking and choosing between states and within that state more than make up for the $60/quarter that my boss says he has to pay.
