    I use google maps to see a sat pic of Places were I am going. That way I know what driveway to turn into and how big is the lot. Google maps are your best friend out here.

    The fuel gauges on trucks are really, really inaccurate and I don't know why. I've driven 3 different brands now and several more models and NONE of them have been accurate to within 50 gallons.

    My truck does that too. The needle can hit E but I know for a fact I have upwards of 25 gallons and have driven 75 miles or more below E before cause of that reserve.

    It seems like I have noticed some post about Dollar general and maybe other places like that. Are these places hard to get into mostly and how are they unloaded, don't remember seeing a loading dock but been overseas a long time.
