What are we up to now (blog)

Another new state... Arizona

We made it out of California. finally. The first thing we noticed was the speed limit. 75 miles per hour... for those of us working in the KM side of thing, that's close to 125 km/h, with no posted speed sign for trucks and trailers. I don't think any of them were going 75... but we did speed up a little along with the rest of them. In California, the speed limit for trucks and trailers is 55 MPH, which is reasonable. You get great gas mileage, but you have to take a little more time to get to your destination.

But, when you sell you gas at 1.65 per gallon, you don't need to think about gas mileage. We filled up our truck from empty... that's about 21 gallons, about 75 liters, for $40.00. and that's the diesel price at 1.94 / gallon. Last month, i spent about 55.00 to fill it up and I thought that was great...3 months ago, I filled up for 70.00 and thought that was great... 5 months ago, I was paying 1.49/liter and couldn't fill up for anything less than a hundred...

WOW is all I can say...even with exchange... 40 bucks is cheap.

The drive along I-10 was pretty uneventful, but the scenes were incredible. the desert is an amazing place. We did come across a state prison by Blythe, CA. There was a huge yellow sign beside the state prison sign that read DO NOT PICK UP HITCH HIKERS. Good advice.

We can't wait to see what Arizona has to offer...

... is there anything good here...(wink wink)
