    When the needle is on e :biggrin_255:. When I had a d-h and the reefer tank had to be full. At a service plaza in Indiana, I told the clerk I,m paying cash ring it up as pickup fuel. He said I can,t do that,so I saw a prime truck parked wrote the dot# and truck # down,gave the clerk those numbers and paid cash. That was driving a co. truck, with loose leaf logs.

    Where the price per gallon minus the state's fuel tax= the lowest number you can find. For example today, fuel tax is .3257 in FL, .1820 in GA
    Loves in Ocala FL 4.22 - .3257= $3.89
    Loves in Tifton GA 4.14 - .1820= $3.96

    So while the price at the pump was .08 less in GA, the fuel was actually .07 more expensive after fuel taxes are accounted for.

    If you feel the need you can just "forget" about a certain fuel ticket... for tax purposes just get a cash ticket made up for buying some used part you need or a couple of used tires. You spent the $$$ but you just deduct it on another line.:biggrin_255:

    So was one of the places that he bought fuel at.

    I am not sure how, but they found the time through the station.

    That works also. Must just be my luck but a fuel tax audit 1999 came up with some O/O's with a large gap in fuel for the miles.
