    It's probably ones with their own customers already established.
    But even with regular customers, you can't push it. Diesel is going up, and most can't do anything about it. We can't raise our rates since everyone knows there are so many others to take our place. Like others I am trying to survive.

    Or use common sense and fuel in the morning before you start your day. Heck this is day one knowledge taught at any newb mega.

    It's not just about the fuel, you don't want to wake up to holes in your fuel tanks.

    I might actually cancel the membership. I haven't used it for months now.

    I paid $1250 to fill up today... It is nothing else but true that diesel is too expensive!

    When they were only 25 dollars a month it was worth keeping around just to keep an eye on the spot market but now their pricing is out of control.
