In 2011,a couple of years after i retired, one of the things on my "bucket list" was to camp from Florida to Alaska and back. Gas prices were rising and getting close to a dollar more a gallon than what they were. Pulling my fifth wheel, I got about 10'mpg. For the trip, it was going to be roughly 12,000 miles. So about 1200 gallons, about $1200 more than I had planned. I was talking to a friend of mine about possibly not going and he said to me that he would not hesitate, if that was what I really wanted to do, why not go. So I went and actually, by the time I was on my way back home, prices had fallen, so that was a plus. When the Plymouth needs gas I put some in. It's not going to sit in the garage because gas is more expensive. And I'm what some people would call a cheap bastard.
