Just checked my fuel logs from last month and I'm shook

I was going over my numbers yesterday afternoon and noticed I burned through 340 gallons in a single 10-hour shift on the Mississippi. That's almost 50% more than what I was doing on the same stretch back in March. I double-checked the meter and my pump settings but everything looked normal. Has anyone else seen their fuel consumption jump like that for no obvious reason?

Wow, idk maybe it's just me but checking my tire pressure made a huge difference in my gas mileage.

Tire pressure's totally one of those things I always forget about until my car starts driving like a shopping cart with a bad wheel. Honestly, I once drove around for like three months with my tires looking a little squishy wondering why I was visiting the gas station twice a week. I thought checking tire pressure was something only mechanic wizards did, but turns out there's a little gauge at the gas station for like two bucks. Finally filled them up and my wallet stopped crying as much, which was nice. Ever had that moment where you realize you've been making life harder for yourself without even knowing it?
