====== Managing fuel costs ======

===== using less fuel =====

The best way to save on fuel is to //use less of it//. 


==== moving between campsites ====

**Having an overall plan in mind** can save backtracking and inefficient routes.  [[camping:snowbirding|Snowbirds]] tend to move in circuits in order to follow good weather.  

**Maximizing stays at one camp** lessens the amount of overall traveling one does. This might mean staying at a particular area for the whole 14 days((or whatever is allowed)) then moving to the next spot.   An extreme example would be staying at a [[camping:lvta|Long Term Visitors Area]].

==== state averages ====

When traveling across multiple states or when camping near a state border, keep these general trends((http://vogeltalksrving.com/2018/07/states-to-fill-up-in-on-your-summer-road-trip-and-states-to-avoid/)) in mind:

''Arizona < California'' \\  
''Louisiana < Texas < New Mexico'' 
   
''Ohio < Michigan \\   
West Virginia < Pennsylvania''  
  
''Massachusetts < Connecticut''  
 
''Alabama((often cheapest in the nation)) < Georgia''
