No, Gas_Buddy, they wouldn't. My guess is that they were kidnapped on the highway by illegal aliens and need our help to recuse them. Who's with me?

Based on how many points she had when she started this thread (465), I assume she either didn't pass any gas stations on her trip and she has such a large gas tank that she didn't need to slow down to pay attention to gas prices.

There's always the possibility that she didn't take the trip.

Or that she's not returning to Gas Buddy, let alone to the thread that she started. But I doubt that; no one would simply join a gas price posting website, start a discussion thread, and then not continue to take part in the website or the discussion thread, would they.

All you have to do is check Gas Buddy for those states, thank you.

I would add that gas buddy app to your phone and you can check prices as you go.

Driving through the first three states will afford you the opportunity to visit with some of the bunkers scattered across the rural area. Just be careful and drive slowly when you reach one. The men inside the bunker are a little nervous so it is best to put a 24 can-case of Bud on the hood of your car.

Download the Gasbuddy ap for your phone and when you need gas pull up "Find Gas Near Me" and you can search the cheapest in that area... its cool. Drive safe

Tell them, also, that Trixie is continuing to take her meds and by all observation is still lucid of mind. The Erie County Dept of Mental Health over on Franklin St are keeping a close watch on her, though. Just to make sure.

Not being cynical, but gas prices will likely change in the next two weeks and whatever prices anyone posts here will only be a guess. Second, you're not telling anyone what routes you intend to travel so the best anyone can do is give you state prices that may or may not be relevant.

Why not do, as seabrz7 suggested, check the gas price maps for reference. And, you can check the individual Gas Buddy price postings for cities along your route.

Also, what you can do is use the Gas Buddy trip calculator to learn about fuel and fuel usage.

While this discussion category, General Gas Talk is for general talk about fuel, oil, gas stations, etc., it won't be as helpful as checking the various price listings/price maps (charts), etc., or as useful as the trip calculator.

Welcome to GB, click on the gas price maps and look for the roads you will be traveling. Post lots of prices while you travel and at home. :)
