    If you're on the 5 ... the Valero in Coalinga - x334 , is typically priced the same as EZ. Cash only, though. No fuel cards.

    Probably because of the excess of tax and regulations has done them and just like many other businesses in that state and now with the fuel tax raising $0.20 a gallon to $0.61 a gallon, November 1st going to cost them the money on that because they're going to have to raise their fuel prices and that hurts the small ones unfortunately

    My understanding is the .20 cent increase is an excise tax, not IFTA.

    I think you're correct. I don't remember the details, but it ain't IFTA.

    Better not violate that 30 minute break you get more points for violating a 30-minute break than you do driving the truck drunk. Lol....

    In order to get the full 200 bonus points, you have to purchase a total of 50 gallons. Anything less is broken down differently, but I'm not exactly sure of the breakdown. Less Than 15 gallons is x. 16-25 is something else. And so on

    I have 183k miles on my truck and steers. One steer developed river wear and wore down fast. The other is still good. So personal opinion... Would you throw on a used steer that matches tread depth closely to the good tire and keep running them down to close to legal or just replace both, along with the whole suspension maintenance (alignment, shocks etc).
