    NASTC call them. Every day you don't call you are loosing money. 1-800-264-8580. I don't work for them just a very happy customer.

    Can someone who is a member please login and tell me what the fuel price is at in Dixon, Ca. I see them listed on their discount list, and am wondering how much the savings would be. Thanks

    EZtrip in Fresno, CA: $3.699
    3 B's in Lodi, CA: $3.899

    Pump price -- no card required. Amazing what happens when a station doesn't jack up its price 40 cents and then offer a 30 cent "discount" if you pay to join.

    Are those places on I-80 and are they full service one stop shop truck stops? If so then there is an obvious problem.

    He asked about Dixon, CA -- you gave him a 2-pump food mart Chevron 100 miles away in Soda Springs, CA (Lodi is 56 miles from Dixon).

    No argumemt that the Nastc card gives you more flexibility, but I don't think it saves much if anything over good trip planning. Here are some pump prices if you care to compare:

    i10 fuel stops (less ifta):
    San Simon, AZ: $3.289
    Houston, TX: $3.279
    Lake Charles, LA: $3.279
    Live Oak, FL: $3.415

    i40 (less ifta):
    Lupton, AZ: $3.339
    Shawnee, OK: $3.339
    Garner, NC: $3.294

    i80 (less ifta):
    Dixon, CA: $3.562
    Park City, UT: $3.534
    Burns, WY: $3.359
    Neola, IA: $3.364
    Peru, IL: $3.215
    Delaware, NJ: $3.284

    I always like to compare to make sure they are not trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

    The one in Dixon is just without ifta (so you can compare fuel prices state to state). The price at the pump would be 44.7 cents higher...

    When I fuel in California, I do so at the EZtrip in Fresno ($3.252 without ifta)

    I use NASTC, the only one I can compare on your list is Houston Texas. With my Discount last week I paid $3.43. By the time you add .44 to the $3.279 that would make it 3.719. NASTC is still getting you a substantial discount.
     
    double yellow Thanks this.
