In September my adventures took me across country. The deeper I went into the southern routes the cheaper fuel was getting. Driving a Cadillac Escalade we use premium fuel and it will burn regular unleaded without issues. Every time I fueled up I was paying premium prices lower than regular unleaded prices in Utah. Being away from home at those prices didn't allow for complaints since it really helps out. Our route brought us home in the more northern central region. As we passed thru St Louis price increases started becoming noticeable. By the time we came thru Cheyenne, WY prices were about the same as when we first left.
About 3wks ago I talked to a friend in Sacramento and he said fuel prices there dropped lower than what we are paying here. Go figure, Calif fuel prices cheaper than Utah? What I did notice we have much better road conditions than most and a tax increase at the pumps are on the table. Are we getting hosed? Maybe but the road improvements gives a different story.
