    Some of those are independents that got bought up and taken into the fold.

    My cost for fuel at TA in San Antonio is $1.76.

    Flying J $1.86.

    I'll give everyone three guesses where I'm fueling and showering.

    Sound decision. In my own case, I just dislike TA so much I refuse to patronize them. My discount is far better at PFJ anyway. But even removing that perk, I’d choose Loves over TA even if it cost me a few bucks.

    Well let's look at Ontario in the communist state.

    Flying J is 14 cents more.

    TA if you get 60 gallons it's free to park.

    Shower is $16.

    So it's a fiddy out the window on a 100 gallons of fuel.

    You big time Schneider guys just have money to burn.

    Unfortunately they invested in the one at Buckhorn, PA (I-80 232). Now it's a typical modern TA. Before it was run down but had loads of character and was one of those few places that was still the same as it was when I was a kid, places I could go and forget, if only for a little while, that I'm stuck in a year that starts with a 2.

    No more.
