I know Southwest has a look up table they use to determine the price of
hauling around fuel vs. the price difference at different destinations.
Everyone always avoids buying fuel at Sacramento International because
it's one of the most expensive in the nation. The airport requires all
fuel guys to be active and certified fire fighters.

I would think that with the high price of fuel, if an airline services
an airport where fuel prices are very high, they may take on full fuel
at an airport where the fuel prices are low. I'm betting the
dispatcher does a careful calculation of the cost of hauling extra fuel
over the price of fuel at every location.
