I know truck stops often have obscenely high diesel prices - not sure why….

But I saw one at the DE/MD state line asking $7.89 or some obnoxious amount like that for diesel. The other one was around there was around $5.95.
 
Given your fuel used to be half what we pay in the UK, I'm surprised at those prices in the US.

In the UK petrol is currently an average of £1.50 per Litre which is the equivalent $6.81 per US gal

Diesel is more expensive at £1.80 per Litre or $8.18 per US gal
 
Weather, high paying jobs and cheap avocado
1) We also have weather in central Texas... and good air conditioning.

2) Remind me again, the cost of "living" in California? When everyone was fleeing there at the start of Covid, those moving into my neighborhood were giddy at paying only $750k for twice the house at half the cost from where they were living (driving up home prices here).

3) Got me on this one. :(

That's a issue is that money comes into Texas and drives up prices same with NYC money going to Florida. Suddenly it becomes unaffordable
 
@barryh CA West Coast taxes and cost of doing business are a contributor to those insane prices much like you in the UK make CA the most expensive in the nation.

We are around $3,50 a US gallon on the East Coast and I assume not the only ones (so far)

Who or what is Goff?
a gas station in the middle of nowhere without another one for 100miles.

Nearby stations here:
Getgo is 3.43 with advantage pay
sheetz has super 88 for 3.34 currently.
(3.31 if you swipe the free sheetz rewards card)

Of course if you randomly fill up on I-71 it was around 3.95 gas and 5.39 diesel.
(few days ago)
