Costs across the board are up. Fill a bag of groceries, select household items, personal products, clothes and yes fill your tank with fuel as well as other maintenance items then compare current costs to last year. The difference will manifest itself. I've elected to do what I term one tank assignment trips. Taking assignments 600 - 700 miles from an existing job allows trip for one fill up. When gas was $4.00 gallon $340.00 was required to fill up compared to ~$200.00 less than a year ago. It is not just about the price of gas. Costs across the board are up.
