we were driving in AZ yesterday and ALOT of trucks including us were only going about 60-65 MPH
The fuel surge thing works like this fuel is 3.50 per gal, your FSC is say .45, you take the MPG your truck gets and times it by your fuel surge for instance ....truck gets 6.0 MPG .45 X 6 = 2.70 take that number and subtract from 3.50 or whatever you are paying for fuel. 3.50-2.70=.80 you are paying .80 for fuel at 3.50 per gal. When we were leased to arrow our tuck got 7MPG and there were times we MADE money with the fuel surge. tootie

If you guys would just kick off the heating oil habit, we wouldn't see this huge increase of 50-100 cents every fall. We don't run heating oil in Canada. We don't see this increase. Diesel prices here have increased 5% in the past month.
