    I’ll start by saying I’ve only been driving a year so my experience has been a huge learner curve. With that I have been noticing the diesel pricing has been getting out of hand at Love’s. $4.04 cash price just outside of Des Moines, IA. Across the street at Kum & Go is $3.57. Well they except ComData cards and therefore I used them. Love’s has now become my last resort.

    Honestly I have been off the road, hopefully temporarily, since mid June. However, with efs, my company was getting the cheapest fuel rates at love's.

    Just done with the people who frequent Love's but I find the locations fairly nice aside from the fuel island customers and bumper cars parking.

    Then your company's fuel department sucks at negotiating fuel rates. ;)

    I live less then 10 miles from the Love’s on I-10 in Sequin. Highest fuel prices in the area even paying cash. Recently a new comer to this area QT has started building big fuel stops down here teamed up with both CircleK and 7-Eleven. They are giving Loves and Velaro a pretty good run.
     
    RockinChair and JoeyJunk Thank this.

    F ### Loves...Flying Jacka##..& Pilot ... I'll keep stopping at some little S###hole mom & pop place atleast there I don't have to worry about my hood getting tore off or my trailer caved in by some steering wheel holder
    And I stand a better chance of seeing normal drivers like @bzinger or @LameMule
