      $120 on the lower end. Average is 4.30/ gal, if they fill up 26 gallon tank, they may come under. If they go for something higher grade or live in a state that is above average, or things fluctuate a bit because donnie tweets out something stupid or Iran hits another tanker, etc., I’m sure it’s easy to go over $120.

      If they are filling up a diesel truck - let’s say 31 gallon tank at $6.28/ gal - that’s just under $200! And that’s average - in California, it looks like the average is $8.39 = $260 for a 31 gallon tank, holy shit.

      Talk about taking it right in the shorts all because you hate brown people, damn.
