2. **Stop-by-Stop Breakdown:** For each stop, list the location (City/State), estimated fuel remaining upon arrival, gallons to add, and the reason for the stop (e.g., 'Lowest price in 200 miles' or 'Mandatory HOS break').
3. **Cost Estimate:** Estimated total fuel cost based on current US regional averages.
4. **Efficiency Tips:** Advice on specific states to avoid fueling in due to high taxes (e.g., PA, CA) versus states with lower taxes (e.g., MO, TX).
