The day before yesterday diesel was 4.15 at the Texaco a block from the house. I passed it on 1/4 tank. I'm empty now and in two days the price has risen to 4.45. I have really cut back on driving and I ALWAYS borrow the wife's hybrid when available. I point this out (again) because if something doesn't change really soon we are ALL going down. The price of diesel affects everyone . . . Farmers to delivery trucks to trains to freighters to . . . . . . . . . . .

I have cousin's in the trucking industry who are about to be forced out of it.

... and Cam . . .you might consider putting off the RV thing for awhile. You can buy a new decked out Escalade and tour the country staying in 5 star hotels for less.
