    Yeah you need norpass for them. Or if Drivewyze would ever carry them. I hear they are working on it.

    So I was fooling around with the pricing sheet that I got from NASTC and comparing what fuel stops I would have made on its fuel plan compared to the stops that I actually did on this last settlement.

    If I fueled on the NASTC plan at the closest stops to the one's I actually fueled at, or, where I would have logically fueled at based on my fuel levels, this settlement alone I would have saved 83.65 over me looking for lowest price possible along my route. (1.89 in Lost Hills CA, 1.79 in Lupton AZ)

    Then I compared those stops to if I fueled on the JCT PFJ plan including the "rebate" we get on them using the same guidelines for fuel needs. (not just trying to find highest price to make PFJ look bad). NASTC is 115.71 lower than PFJ -15 cents on the same amount of gallons purchased.

    Just me trying to talk myself into doing the dang card and comparing how my current fueling would have compared out.

    Of course one week is not enough to show a trend but if I went with 80%, to account for variation, of those savings going one year, I would be saving 3,479.84 on fuel, minus the 250.00 for the membership fee, compared to finding fuel on my own. 4,813.54 against PFJ rebate plan.

    I'm saying the price without the card was 1.79 today and earlier this week. Those prices were the retail pump prices, jct efs card.
    Lupton is not on the fuel network. But Gallup is. Gallup ta with that card was 1.68 retail 2.14. Now you can use the card at lupton but you won't get a discount and you eat the transaction fee like efs and non pfj stops.

    Now, if you get the card, does this mean that you will have to pay your own IFTA? Legally, JCT can't just say no you can't use your own fuel card. But, they can say if you want us to pay the IFTA, then you have to use our fuel card.

    According to the contract I just have to send in fuel receipts and if I don't then I get dinged for ifta at 4.5 mpg.
