Re: Fuel Prices & Car Counts
I'm wondering if we may see a slight change in the amount of bigger motorhomes at the tracks this year with the fuel prices. A typical 3/4 ton gas pickup will probably get about 10 mpg give or take a few numbers depending on the age of the truck. If you drive 1000 miles round trip, with gas around $4 a gallon in the northeast here, it will be about $400 round trip for gas. Add in 3 nights for a mid range hotel around $100 per night, that's about $700 total for fuel and lodging. With diesel priced closer to $5-6 a gallon, that turns into at least $1000 in fuel alone at a typical 5mpg. For the financially conscious racer, that $300 saved can get you an entry plus some race gas at your next event.

The financially conscious racer does not own a motorhome.

Re: Fuel Prices & Car Counts
I bought my first diesel pickup in 2007 when fuel was 4.55 per gallon here in Nebr/Iowa. I always use the GasBuddy app on my phone. It is crowd sourced for the current station prices. It is useful everywhere, and I always attempt to fill up at the lowest priced, quality station.
