East Tennessee.  Diesel up 40 cents literally overnight.  $3.39 yesterday, now $3.79.  Suspect we’ll be over $4.00 soon.

When we returned to home base mid-december, Costco and Sams club were a buck below going price for a week. $2.85. Setting at ¼ full, we topped up. Now ready for next outing. 

Interesting how neither have Diesel pumps in Arizona.  Not sure why. Only a few Costco stores in utah have diesel. Takes a while to fill, and those behind you are not happy. Oh well.

Sams in north Phoenix off of Bell road has diesel.  I've filled up there before.

We survived $5 fuel before we can do it again. Except before I had an Explorer with small trailer getting 8 mpg. Now I have a freightliner with a big trailer averaging 9. I am in the same boat as in 08-09 but more comfortable.

Yesterday in North Platte,NE the big boys on the interstate were $4.09 for credit  and one block of the interstate at a truck stop price was  $3.49 for credit.  The big boys are ripping us off.

Look into https://www.tsdlogistics.com/services/fuel-program/

You pay what the fleets pay.  Big difference.  Here in Oregon, the cheapest is Costco at $3.99. Petro which is 6 miles away is $3.65 with the TSD card.  Sign price at Petro was 4.34.
