    I was with a 5 truck company used TA or Petro. The comdata used saved up to 40cpm. But think this was a Petro, TA direct account. Saw the fuel stops pricing in every state with added discount in a chart every month.

    Most places sell bio blend because it adds publicity back into the new fuel. And bio will clean anything it touches. Like your engine internals.

    That was the argument the Governor of Indiana used to sell the rights for the tollway. It was to improve the roads in rest of the state. What happened to that Billion dollar windfall.

    Loves called and offered a discount of 6 cents a gallon up to 500 gallons per month, 9 cents per gallon above that.
    WTF mom and pops have lower retail price on pump and some give 5cents per gallon cash discount.
     
    bzinger Thanks this.

    I choose not to buy any fuel at Loves every blue moon ill stop at one for a restroom break or something and with how backed up the lines are every time, I don't care what the discount they give is it isn't worth the time sitting in the fuel island waiting to get it.

    Isn't that mind blowing? I remember when fuel was $1.25 in IL and $.96 in IN. Now I wait to fuel in IL. What is this world coming to?!
