You probably are not looking for diesel but it usually runs about the same price as the mid grade fuel so hopefully the prices will be down a bit more for your trip.

    I hope that you have a wonderful trip and watch out for the CHP they were out very heavy when we went down and coming home. We saw many cars pulled over. Have fun!
