Pilot has changed again

Here's how you get over. You find out which stations are using hot fuel correction pumps. Then you buy you fuel there in the summer and you buy your winter fuel at a stop where they do not correct for temperature. At the year end you'd be shocked to see how much fuel you get for free.

 

Checked the spread sheet, 2011 savings of cash purchases.

4,210.23

 

You can count on advertising when they do install them.
Four of the larger companies have settled the lawsuit and they are Shell,BP,ConocoPhillips, and Casey's General Stores. I know from the past that the oil companies do go to extremes to show the public how fair they are. That's where the advertisement comes in. I would bet that the pumps will be marked somewhere telling you the pump is temperature correcting.

What I recommend is going to 1 of the 4 companies listed above in about a month or so and look at any pump then ask. I do not think by law they can change the quantity of dispensed fuel and not tell you. They notify you by listing what the pump is on the pump. It's just like with they add ethanol or state the octane. I will find out for sure.

 

I try to fuel at Love's when my company will allow it. There are only a few locations that they will let us, otherwise it is Pilot or Flying J. Back in the day of comchecks, I would ask if I was getting the cash price. If not, I would take the comcheck and go across the street and buy fuel...right in front of them.

The chain drive wallet...used to be functional rather than fashionable. But then so was a lose leaf logbook. People net now has me with my feet nailed to the floor.

 

Don't get in a hurry. I just read the settlement and these companies are joining to take 5 years to change all their pumps. But if you do find one just remember you'll want to fill there when it's cold and not when it's hot. They are saying you might be able to save 1 quart of fuel if it's like 40 degrees out. If all the stations go to it then you're going to receive less in the summer and more in the winter. There will be times that you will loose fuel and you'll have no idea where it when. It went up in vapors and reduced in volume. And only the people in the know will know how to get over on the system if we can.

 

I'm confused now. In your first post you said to fuel at pumps on hot days or in the summer time where the pump has a meter that corrects for hot fuel but in the winter fuel where they don't have the meters to correct for it. Which jives with common sense but seems like you're saying the exact opposite in this second post I quoted???

 

How can you not know if you're getting cash price on the pump meter or not?

Step 1: Look at the big sign out front with the big $ number on it.
Step 2: Look at the pump with the little $ screen on it.
Are they the same?
