I drove about 1 hour in my motorhome to get to an RV park, and for the first time ever, I 
was passing the truckers instead of them passing me.  Normally they wiz by me when I 
drive 70 MPH.  I assume that they are driving more conservatively because of the high cost 
of diesel.

Last week, my coach needed roughly 50 gallons of diesel to fill it.  I had a 1/2 tank to 
start, and putting in $300.00 worth of fuel almost brought it to full.  I drove it to Naples 
and back to Tampa, which brought it down to a little over half tank.  Yesterday I had to put 
another $300.00 in it to again bring it to almost a full tank.

I can see why the truckers are slowing down.  If I had to put in $600 worth of fuel in just 
one week, I hate to imaging what they are spending.
