RowdyRebel Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 My daily commute costs $16...on my motorcycle. It's $40 in the Suburban. Ranger is still down (need to pull the heads...either a blown gasket or cracked head), but even that would be pushing $25. Not too far off of the point where a guy has to wonder if it's worth making the trip.😤 1 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Freightrain Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Diesel is $4.79 here. My normal weekend runs are about an hr each way. Thats still about 12 gal x $5/gal=$60 each trip(avg 8 mpg). That will be double from last year.  Trips farther will make it tough to go with the cost of fuel. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

67RModel Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 How quickly everyone forgets history. In July 2008 the average cost of a gallon of 87 octane in the United States was $4.11. Adjusted for inflation that is $5.37/gallon in today's money. I'm sure we were all complaining how outrageous $4.11/gal was at the time, but the current prices aren't nearly as bad as they were in 2008....Although we could easily surpass $5.37/gal given the current geopolitical horseshit going on now. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69332-sticker-shock-at-the-pumps/#findComment-491148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 not only in 08, but also in 2011 or 2012 diesel was close to $5 per gallon. fuel was so expensive we stopped working rental, only going out for our own work because we could not add fuel cost into the rental price. why go to work for $620 per day when you are spending $450-$500 per day in fuel? at least on our own jobs we could add fuel cost to the finish price due to a fuel cost clause in the contract. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

tjc transport Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 we are very lucky in the short term to be building a new shop, so we are not taking any new work for the new 6 months or so. i feel real bad for my friend, he has 47 trucks on the road, and just bought 5 more last month being delivered in the next week or so. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
