Yep, fuel rates are def eye opening. When I see these guys blow by me, I'm always wondering what the fuel bill (among other expenses) must be. In fact, the guy who used to run the same lane with me pulled his truck and trailer (in the middle of the week with no warning nonetheless) a month or so back because he said fuel was too much and he just wasn't making it.....

...However, he was running a 94 Pete at 70+mph everywhere and proud to be getting 5-5.5mpg.

Some weeks I'll spend nearly 2k on fuel alone. I shop the price heavily and my truck averages 8.8-9mpg consistently. I can't imagine nearly doubling that expense just due to a lack of self control.
