Just came down to Houston TX from Seattle WA. Figured I needed about 400 gallons so shut the pump off at 65 gallons in 6 states. Well that and was rolling 11800 33700 33900 so had to be careful about too much fuel weight.
Going right back to Seattle will probably put in 70 gallons in 6 states this time.BeN DaViS Thanks this. -
Always an even for me. (My driver drives me crazy with the ¢!)
When I used the company fuel card it was always an odd to make the difference an even with the fee. $397 + $3 fee -
The i dont give a rats arse option.

I want to know who decided the fuel price (tax) would always be to a 9/10 of a cent, no matter where you go. WTF? Or does it just not matter at this point, and I'm just being difficult?

I drop the trailer, go over to the fuel island and fill it up.
Then I park the truck and go home for the night.

I always try to get the gallons as rounded off as possible.. Won't leave it 169.554 gallons, ill pump it to 170.

I take a Dixie cup, fill it up, and then pour it into the tank. I keep count for mileage purposes.
I actually let it go until it clicks, and then slowly put more into the tanks because the foam of the crapfuel goes down. Usually I'll stop when the liquid meets the underside of the tank opening.
Protip/anti-fraud: pick any two numbers and make your fuel purchases always end in those two numbers. That way you'll always know if it was you.randomname, tommymonza and silver dollar Thank this. -
one time I did my last run before vacation and still had $700 on Tcheck from chr. so I fueld up my truck and took the rest in cash. and went and bought locking feul tank caps. and went to Hawaii. But it depents which state im fueling in
