    I could loan you my glasses but then I would be a hazard to all others on the road.

    Former chemical engineer here (plumbers are welcome to chime in). All you need to do is succ better than my ex fiancé and if the hose exit height is lower than the hose entrance height, it will just gravity unload into a drum. If air gets in then it stops. Now let’s go steal some gas!!!

    It looks like the fuel retail price did drop but so did my discount

    I’m home but looked at the app and my discounts were around $0.80 per gallon which brought fuel to around $4.53 on a random route to phoenix
    Today the price is around $5 after my discount but the discounts are around $0.27 per gallon

    The oil companies and Truckstop Operators are going to squeeze all the money they can out of the current world boondoggle. I can promise you, the TS Operators, especially the big chains, don’t care about anything but your money.

    I am thankful that I drove in a time that you could pull into a fuel stop and the young men fueling your truck, the fuel desk clerks, and the waitress’ knew your name and seemed to genuinely care about their patrons. I know because of their service, as a percentage, the tips I left for them were greater than I leave now.

    Have you checked other places?
    The Eco travel plaza in Crossville Tn was giving a decent discount, but lately they have been close to cash price. Today is .05 and also looks like NASTC has dropped them.

    I’m not out until maybe next week?
    Trucks in the shop. Minor issue but sorta want it cleared up
    Just did a few random routes the past few days watching pricing

    I’ve usually been in that $0.55 -$0.80 discount for the past several years , some around a $1 but that’s rare
