    Our shop has no Power Service so I was told to buy Additive at Truckstop on fuel card.

    Pilot/FlyJ is offering 500 bonus points on 2 jugs of Howes Diesel Treat..

    So every other day I buy two jugs of Howes and rake in the $5 in extra points.

    I should note this is for company drivers who can purchase stuff on their fuel cards.

    Owner operators are better off stocking up at Fleet Farm, Menards, Walmart etc as the savings versus truckstop price far exceeds the 5 dollars in rewards points.

    I just bought PowerService (white jug) at Rural King for $10.99 a bottle. Almost double that price at truckstops, and Wally world. I was actually pretty amazed at the prices there, it's an hour drive for me, but every other month or so I'll make the trip and stock up.

    PFJ sells each bottle for 20 some odd dollars. Walmart sells it for 10 bucks. 500 points really ain't much of a reward for giving up 40 bucks plus tax. You're buying 2 bottles every other day, so by weeks end, you'll be able to get a mud flap with those accumulated points.

    And when said company has gone bankrupt, and everyone loses their jobs from everyone buying overpriced Howe's, what's the cost to the driver then?
