Prices

[George777]

So I started doing research so I can budget my move back to CT from Reno, and came across this site so I could plan my fuel budget. Found it pretty informative.

Hopefully they don't move too much in the next 2-3 weeks, because as it looks now, it will cost me approximately $4500 for diesel for the moving truck, and another $1500 for the gas to go in the Explorer...

I was trying to compare gas prices to Feb. 2006 when I moved out here, and couldn't find a site that gives me the average prices or national average...Could someone link me to something that might so I can better budget...

Thanks.

You could always play your cards and see where prices sit in another year.

Found a site that lists prices for the last few years...

you can make a decent amount of money to suppliment your trip by stopping at truck stops along the way... more money can be made if you push your own head down

Travelling Lot lizard. Great.

i dunno you might be better off taking out a full page ad in the vegas papers offering to run drugs and contraband to the east coast. i bet you'll find some people to finance your trip.

Yes, he'll end up driving a car full of 4" pocket knives to New Jersey, a carton of cigarettes to NY (Well worth the trip) or a wind power turbine due for Cape Cod.

I actually told the roomies that if they had to schlob the knob at the truck stops to fill up the tank, so be it. I figure at $20 for a BJ, that's about 4 gallons, so it will be 6 for each of them to fill the truck up...They are on their own for the fuel in their cars...

Wow. I thought Lot Lizard was a great industry, like stripping and working at porn shops.

Hey, I see a pattern

Whats the time table lookin like ?

I get the truck on Thursday, which will be packed up throughout the day...We leave Friday morning, and I figure five days to North Carolina, then another day or two back to CT...Hoping by next friday, the 25th--Provided all goes well.

ok, sounds good. my cable is shut off this week, so I'll be available by phone if you need anything.

 

[George777]

Sounds good...

My roommate used to install cable and has all the tools to "fix" that problem...I'll talk to him...
