[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man. I wish I owned a gas station between Hagerstown and the beltway.  Diesel would be $20 a gallon.  $$$$$[/quote]

And you wouldn’t sell a drop of it. So we’d all be laughing at you. And then laughing again when you had to sell it at market prices next week.

OTR trucks usually hold 300 gallons of fuel in the saddles. Most of these trucks filled up in OK, TN, IN or other places. They won’t buy fuel anywhere around here. [/quote]

I did a little math.  Oklahoma City to Hagerstown is 1200 miles, give or take.  Average MPG for a semi is 6.  So, they’d use up 200 gallons just getting here.  Trucks do not fill up to 100% of their capacity, only 95%.  And they refuel by 25%, which means that they will need to refuel by the time they use up 214 gallons.  The math is better of course if they refuel in IN or TN, and they’d have 100 gallons/600 miles of driving to play around with (10 laps around the beltway; if they cause gridlock, less than 10 laps).[/quote]
