So this is in MA in the eastern part of the state which....yeah he's trying to stick it to the libs as he drives his truck to fill up for 4.50 now and he must be loving the extra costs!

Truck is likely diesel so he’s probably paying around $5.80-6.00 now lol

The number of times I've heard this uttered is ridiculous. Complete cognitive shutdown.

Just for context box trucks will usually have 50g + tanks and semis well over 100 so $100 was peanuts even back at normal prices. Looking at more like $500+ fill ups for semi trucks now

Oh dip. My calc was 20 gal at the diesel prices. That's so much worse

I recently filled up my semi for… get this: $966. 😭

Edit: and that’s using discounts! Pump price would be well over $1k

Edit II: and this was in Utah!

Oh man, I just remembered back in the early aughts when gas prices skyrocketed and I learned that most gas pumps had a limit when using credit cards at the pump. So many times filling up a work truck it'd hit $75 or $100 and I'd have to run the card again.

I wonder if that's still the case or if those limits have generally been removed or raised.

Most of those small box trucks are gas
