I'm seeing $2.09/gal here in southern Mississippi, near I-10.
I think that's the lowest price I've seen in my 20-state, 6-week (so far) road trip.

Maybe I should drain the water from the camper's 20-gallon tank and fill it with cheap Mississippi gasoline!

Do a calculation: How big of a tanker truck do you need to make it worthwhile to drive it to Mississippi, fill it up with $2.09/gal gasoline, and drive back to the West coast (preferably California, for the highest resale)?
