Oh snap, now I have a craven for some chili, sad part is, looks like the best I will be able to do is Wendy's chili for now :roll: Rosty, looks damn good :D

Oh yea, looks good for sure!!!
If you ever give some away make sure to tell the people not to microwave it. Tell them to put it in a pot on the stove and bring it up to temp real real slow. I don't know what it is but the microwave makes it taste different and doing it on the stove brings all stuff back to a liquid again. |
Wendy's isn't that bad either!!
Ok, one more hoers devours. Take a rectangular piece of ham from the deli and lay it out. Put a stick of scallion onion on it then cream cheese. Roll it up then cut into little barrels. And, this one will fake everyone out. Take a can of spam and either make little shapes with a small cookie cutter or roll into little meatballs then fry it. Kids will go nuts over it and the grownups will die when they find out it's Spam. |

Let's say you are running a trip I've done countless times: Harrisburg, PA to Lansing, MI. In that trip, you'll run 258 miles in PA, 245 miles in OH, 16 miles in IN, and 84 miles in MI. You'll owe $34.02 in IFTA tax for that one trip. Now, you have 4 states you can fuel in. Since the entire trip is 603 miles, and you are getting 6 mpg, I will use a 100 gallon fill up, and I will base it off current pump price at Pilot in each state. PENNSYLVANIA: The current pump price at Pilot in Carlisle, PA is $3.879, and of that, the fuel tax is $0.381, bringing the actual pump price down to $3.498. If you were to put the 100 gallons in there, you would overpay your fuel tax in PA by $21.72. You would overpay the fuel tax on the entire trip by $4.08. OHIO: The current pump price at Pilot in North Lima, OH is $3.899, and of that, the fuel tax is $0.280, bringing the actual pump price down to $3.619. If you were to put the 100 gallons in there, you would overpay your fuel tax in OH by $16.57. You would UNDERPAY the fuel tax on the entire trip by $6.02. INDIANA: The current pump price at Pilot in Fremont, IN is $3.999, and of that, the fuel tax is $0.270, bringing the actual pump price down to $3.729. Then, you have the hidden fuel tax in Indiana of $0.11, so your actual pump price is $3.839. If you were to put the 100 gallons in there, you would overpay your fuel tax in IN by $15.28. You would UNDERPAY the fuel tax on the entire trip by $18.02. MICHIGAN: The current pump price at Pilot in Battle Creek, MI is $3.999, and of that, the fuel tax is $0.392, bringing the actual pump price down to $3.607. If you were to put the 100 gallons in there, you would overpay your fuel tax in MI by $33.71. You would OVERPAY the fuel tax on the entire trip by $5.18. Therefore, the logical, business minded person would clearly see that fueling in Pennsylvania would be the cheapest place to fuel, because you have a lower pump price (minus the tax), and a higher fuel tax rate. Now, I'll ask you once again. Pretty please, with fucking sugar on top, stop beating around the bush and explain why what state you fuel in matters less to someone with their own authority than someone operating under someone else's authority, because the calculations above are the same for an independent as they are for someone operating under someone else's authority. :roll: |

And no, that is not the better question. It isn't even relevant to the discussion. I used a trip I've done many times before because I had the exact mileages in front of me, and I wanted one that put me through Indiana. |

And I know it wasn't relevant to your bickering back and forth with our super hero. :? |

#2. City to city based upon Delorme is 582.07 miles, and an estimate of 10:04 travel time using toll roads. City to city avoiding all toll roads is 603.27 miles, and an estimate of 11:24 travel time. #3. The speed limit on interstate highways in OH is 55, and the speed limit on the toll road in OH is 65. None of this matters to the point of the whole matter anyway. But thanks for getting stuck on the trivial details. :roll: |
You actually need to download the IFTA worksheet and not quote pump tax figures. And if your stopping every 100 miles to fuel up your in worst shape then I thought. That's taking probably 3 gallons to make each one of those stops!!!
And Mike, the reason it takes Rev longer is because he's stopping to buy 100 gallons of fuel. :roll: |
