Gas prices are going to cause a crimp in our RVing lifestyle. We've already started paying $3.19/gallon...even in the Texas Panhandle. And we thought Texas would be the cheap state. Part of our dilemma is that the Regular grade gas in west Texas and New Mexico has been 86 octane. We're not supposed to put in less than 87 octane when at high elevations. And considering we are now sitting on the Continental Divide at 7,700', we figure this classifies as "elevation", right?
We're just praying that gas prices start coming down before we hit California. Otherwise we might need to stay put in Yosemite til gas prices drop!
By the way, we do use Gas Buddy to help us locate the more reasonable stations or areas. It's not perfect, but it is better than being blind. The "temperature map" for gas prices is pretty interesting.
