I think about it everyday trying to merge as many trips together as I can. Like will I have the energy to go to Walmart and Lowes after getting a root canal because it will be $50 round trip in gas. People who work 30 - 40 miles from home might have half their income go to gas. And now, truckers are posting online that diesel is so high, some are only making $100 a day. Some are saying they won’t drive for that. Diesel prices need to come down for food delivery.
