I have a semi thats been parked on my property for the past three weeks. The owner/operator can’t afford diesel prices. He’s saying it’s going to stay parked until this idiot is out of office (and no, he did not vote for the rapist, felon, traitor in office). Plan B in action.

Well diesel has gone from $3.77 on average to $6.52 since the start of the war, so that's a 73% increase. So I'd GUESS about $700 back then if that section of Michigan increased at or near the national average increase.

Even if the war and I ran ended, it would probably take months before the price of diesel and gasoline came down. #BigOilGreed

Context matters here, the average person doesn't know what it cost truck drivers before, so the $1200 fill up may not land. Anyone know what it was before?
-
Well if gas has effectively doubled in price then probably $400-$600

🎯🎯🎯 Our country is in serious decline due to complete incompetence in the White House. American's need to wake up PRONTO! And grow a SPINE! Thank You, Abdul for your clear leadership! 👍

Depends on the truck, I guess. But not sure that matters. "$1200 to fill a tank" sounds bad and $7 diesel is bad.
