Title: 10 cents a mile
Post by: Olde English on March 28, 2023, 01:54:50 pm
I'm puzzled as to how this works
On the east side of I-25 is Firestone and Frederick where gas is $2:70 a gallon
On the west side of I-25 is Longmont where gas is $3:30 a gallon
And then there's Boulder where gas is about $4:00 a gallon

East to west distance is about 12 or 13 miles or you could say 10 cents a mile, I'd love to hear the corporate spin on that one !

When you have a coach that gets 5-6 miles per gallon you have to do some math to see if that extra mileage is worth it.  Sometime it is, sometime it's not.  The good part about having 200 gallon tank is you can pick and choose where you want to fill up.

I get 9.2 mpg but for some reason my 100 gallon tank only hold 80 gallons.
Regardless, it pays to check prices.... https://www.arizonagasprices.com/GasPriceSearch.aspx?fuel=D&qsrch=Bullhead%20City,%20AZ
