That's interesting. Do they have a high tax on diesel in CA? I know it doesn't cost more than gas to make. What does Arnold think he's doing?

It's not just The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. Diesel is spiking all over the west. Don't know why.

Re: Fuel Figures

One trip: GA to WA = 2800 x 2 = 5600 miles : 17mpg out/14mpg return = 365 gal @ 1.69 = $620 just to retrieve equipment from shipping container in WA state.
