    I don't get my fuel DISCOUNT at gas stations... so their fuel isn't cheaper for me

    I must be wrong as someone here said they see it a lot. I’ve noticed signs at a lot of Walmart’s No Trucks. I was going through hurricane zone today thinking of how much everyone’s wanting to see Trucks

    Kroger used to have a great deal. I’ve done it a few times. Points add up to big savings on families groceries

    Nope. I will pay more forfuel so I don't need to worry about what might be happening with the trailer, even empty, not to mention loaded.

    That gets me a care free shower and something to eat. Well, maybe the truck hood is in danger, but that is plenty...

    Different pumps for cars & light trucks on the front side of the station, big trucks pump out back with the high flow pumps with the heavy truck tax.

    If you have an RV or a box truck under 26K gross, you can ask for the light truck price at the heavy truck pump.

    Check that. Even with LS’s discounts i could still find it cheaper at local gas staions from time to time.
