I have a diesel pickup now.
When traveling if I have the time I look for fuel in town not beside the big road.
Often times it is 10+ cheaper a mile off the road than it is right beside the road.
I guess all that road frontage is expensive to pay for.Big Don Thanks this. -

I can believe it.
Prices around here jumped about .13 in less than a week.
I know the oil companies and service stations swear they aren't gouging any body but when the price inch worms its way down a penny or two at a time and never more than .05 in a week, but then it jumps up .05 to .15 at a time in the matter of one day..... they can't claim to be innocent. -

Well here you go chromedome just some examples.......as you see it was updated on Friday.
Please refrain from trying to insult me in the future, as you can see you haven't got a clue, so until you have experience in this matter maybe you shouldn't go around spreading lies, maybe gasoline is .10cent profit max but not diesel. That old saying "Numbers don't lie" well it should read "numbers don't lie...unless you want them to"Last edited: Jul 25, 2010

Some companies get a "cost plus" price from TA thru the comdata card.
Landstar is one of them.
Some times the cost plus was more than the posted pump price.
Some times the cost plus price was .50 or more cheaper than posted price.
To recap.... we know that some times the TA is banging folks hard on their prices.
Because of this I often will not buy from the local TA (3 miles away). Unless they are competitive with other stations. Which happens once or twice every couple yrs. -
It is so much easier to find diesel now, than it was when I bought mine. I've had mine since the end of '95. (It's a '96 model year.) I used to have to hunt around for stations that sold diesel, particularly if I was in an unfamiliar area. Now, it is in the majority of the gas stations.
