    Not hardly. Maybe a day or three a year, and then not even close to that kind of cold. I did put a cord on the block heater though and plug it into a timer on those mornings if I'm planning to go somewhere. Nice to have an already warmed up ride on those mornings, although not really necessary.
    Actually the coffee is one of the few things I don't dislike about pilot. Or the other major chains for that matter. I'll buy a cup if I'm just making a quick fuel stop or cutting it too close leaving in the morning.
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.

    I'm gonna have to agree. Pilot does brew a good cup. The TA and Loves are both crap.

    I was scarred by the pilot coffee about 8 years ago when I first started driving. Maybe they've improved, I'll give it a shot next time I'm empty and get fuel.

    I used to do the monster energy thing but I'm transitioning back to coffee cause that crap gets expensive. Used to buy it by the case at SAMs club.
