The price of Regular self-served gas was $3.37 at one place yesterday in Evansville. Up north, near Washington, I bought gasoline for $3.15 per gallon.

How come you people in the southern part of Indiana have lower gas prices than we do up in the northern part? I live outside of Huntington and there are gas tank storage units right there. It sits on the Buckeye pipeline and several companies like Sunoco, Marathon, Shell have several large storage tanks there. They only have to truck it 2-3 miles to any Huntington station yet we have some of the highest prices in the state. You can drive 15 miles each way from here and find gas usually 0.05 a gallon cheaper. Doesn't make sense. h.h.

Doesn't make much sense, hornharvester. I guess it has to do with the population being higher and more concentrated up your way. The place, where I bought gas for $3.15 was just one of a few. Down the road the price was $3.30 per gallon.

No link, personal experience, couple truckers in the family. True over the road driving for most rigs is running for the most part from 7-10 MPG...but, if the truck idles much, that goes to hell pretty quick... Stepdad's box trucks actually don't do as well over the road as the semi-rigs do. Neither of them toting alot of weight. Major differences there are because of gearing. Milage is a funny creature, and alot of OTR truckers are hammer drivers, and weight can make ALL the difference. From the firsthand knowlege I have, and have seen, 7 or 8 to 10 can be done. I never said it couldn't be done. Or that it wasn't currently being done by many rigs. I said the national average is probably much closer to 5 mpg than it is 8. That is only my OPINION, as I have found no solid facts online, but several like camby posted offering ways to boost mileage UP to 6-10 mpg. The two rigs I drove, hauling mostly paper products, got around 4.5 and 6 respectfully. Most truckers I spoke with on the road were getting similar. And yes, the load you pull and the way you drive will make a difference. But we were talking national average.

*Starting to feel tipsy.......wishes Mullis or Smiles would wake up soon!* Sadly, I work on Saturday. And I would have much preferred drinking beer this morning. Or last night, for that matter. I am way overdue to have a couple of beers. And as long as it isn't Hamms or Coors, its all good.

I live outside of Huntington and there are gas tank storage units right there. When living in Scioto County Ohio I use to think the same thing. S. Ohio gas prices were ALWAYS way higher than the rest of the state, and there was an Ashland Oil refinery just 25 miles down the road in Ashland, KY. I could never understand why the difference when the trucking costs to that region had to be less than taking tankers farther up into Ohio.

Well thats because Travis lived there, and they knew Travis don't mind paying more for gas so they jacked up the price!
