In TX are a bit cheaper. Actual 93 octane, low ethanol content. Dammit.

ALL OF MY GAS CANS… :biggrin:

Helping the parents move out here to TX. Brought all my Glamis cans for the trip next week. 

That being said, F-150 has the 44 gallon tank option. 

 
Yep, a friend of mine was out there a couple weeks ago.  Sent me this

I'm around $5k-$6k on diesel every month. Try to buy fuel out of CA as much as possible. Installing a 60 gallon Titan tank in our new dually soon. My 14 Dmax has a 36 gal tank and in bed 100 gallon aux tank. 

I was in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday and saw diesel at $7.98/gallon. 

 
We are getting a couple of truck and trailer loads a week at some where between 40 and 50 thousand a load depending on the price for the day of delivery. The price can drop .10 a gallon today and you order a load and they deliver tomorrow and it might go up .15 crazy times. We get pricing daily and it is up and down like a yo-yo and on a week of the price being down some you do not see that reflected at the pumps in town .everyone is feeling the pain.

 
Oil is holding steady at $85 a barrel so I don't see it coming down much more till oil gets cheaper.

At $85 per barrel the price at the pump should be at least $1.50 per gallon cheaper than what been seeing at pump over the last 3 weeks . . .

That is why you are seeing such crazy changes in prices... its not the barrel price, but the spot refined price that is driving this craziness. Some refineries are down, others have plenty of supply, but don't have the pipeline capacity to the depot. Then you have truck availability, and to a smaller point, rail bottlenecks and labor... That is why prices go nuts over such small geographic locations.

First thing I did when I bought my dually was get the Titan (thought it was 62 gallons). Anyhow, the stock tank is 34.. makes no sense as there is all that room past the bedrail, should be stock that way. I'm sure you love it. Since I only use my truck for trips, I sometimes go several months without filling up... but when I do.. $7.04/gallon.. at least 50 gallons.. ugh.

👍on the Titen tank. My truck is single rear wheel, tank is a-little longer, 65 gallons 

 
My f350 has an effin 26 gallon tank. Worthless! You guys are giving me tank envy

I read an article a couple weeks ago that addressed all the extra regulatory requirements that the current administration have imposed on the oil industry, from pulling oil out of the ground to refining and transporting finished product. It is quite burdensome and expensive, which is the goal.

One of the requirements was lowering benchmarks where carbon credits need to purchased to offset emissions during the refining process, which is adding to the increase in price of the finished product. 

You can't compare the price of a barrel of oil to the finished product without considering the how the regulatory requirements have influenced the cost of producing that product.

 
Titan tank in my DMAX too.  It being a standard bed only had a 26 gallon tank.  The Titan doubled it.  I could do a round trip from PHX to G without having to fuel up.

 
My '21 Ram came with a 50 gallon stock tank.  I have often thought about adding more capacity but most people I travel with have Class C motorhomes so I am stopping for fuel anyways.  I usually stopping with above a 1/2 a tank when then are on an 1/8.
