The Price of Fuel
I had a stack of receipts hanging around for months, and finally got around to updating my fuel tracking spreadsheet for the Tahoe. Rather interesting to watch the price of fuel plummet in 2H '08. The last two tanks in the Tahoe have an Albertson's discount applied due to our preferred card. Oddly enough, diesel was still hovering around $2.80 in mid December, almost double the cost of regulary unleaded, but has come down to the $2.20 range lately.

| 1/3/2009 | Albertson's Express - Boise, ID | 17.198 | $1.23 | $21.14 | 230 | 45491 | 1438.0 |
I dug back through the various records I have kept, and seems like 1999 was the cheapest year on record, although I always put premium in my '87 Firebird, so it is about 20-30 cents higher than regular:
| Date | Odometer | Location | Type | Gallons | Price Per Gallon |
| 2/14/1999 | 26595 | Pine Bluffs - Ampride | Unleaded | 12.66 | $0.79 |
| 2/19/1999 | 26850 | Lusk - Conocco | Unleaded | 9.90 | $0.91 |
| 2/21/1999 | 26939 | Chadron - Big Bats | Unleaded | 3.81 | $1.05 |
| 2/26/1999 | 27217 | Laramie - Coastal | Unleaded | 10.77 | $0.78 |
