The BEST truck stop we have been in is Dad's in Idaho Falls, Id. Always the best price by as much as 20 cents a gallon and they have the additive in it. It's Sinclair so you get rewards too.A great resturant with the best cinnamon rolls in the world, great staff, nice clean showers and tv room. Wonderful.
I am concerned about the fuelin the Petro in Eloy, Az. Seems the last 2 times we have fuelled there the truck just doesn't seem to have the power it should. Anyone else in whatever area had that happen??
Good Fuel Etc.

You may check to see if you have gotten water in your fuel. Some trucks have fuel filters with drain ####s on them so that you can drain any water that might have gotten into the fuel.

I use dad's occasionally. It's nice, and the food is good. They had some real smart-alec kids working the register for a while, so I began going to loves across the street. Since then, however, they fired the d-bags and now have decent cashiers again. The only drawback is that they aren't a franchise so you can't take your shower credits and use them down the road. I wish they'd start putting the showers on the sinclair rewards card.
As for fuel prices, they're not usually cheaper than Loves. Where are you getting 20 cent number from? I find that KJ's up on US 20 about 10 miles away is cheaper than both Loves and Dads most times.
What additive does dads put in the fuel that others don't? -
Oh and the truck wash across from dads is decent... I'm reluctant in the winter to pay $80 for truck & trailer wash, but for $40 they do a pre-soak and spray off on the truck & trailer, and it usually is a really good job.

we have a heated fuel filter, so don't think it's that, but worth looking into. thanks.
