4. Really?

I think the truck owner Chris Whitcomb might be over stating his costs. Must be a Trumper who lies, who sensationalizes the present situation.

"We used to be able to fill our diesel trucks up for about $120 a day and now we're between $300 and $340 a day," said Whitcomb.


Hmmmm, that's about a 2.5x increase in fuel. According to what I research online, gas average in San Diego is about $4.80/gal and diesel average is about $5.04/ gal

That would mean that the truck driver mentioned in the link would have paid, $2.00/gal in the past.
He must mean, the past of 20 years ago?
