    I kind of feel this way.

    Example: I need fuel Fri morning before rollin out. The TS I was at (smaller chain) I could get a nastc discount from. Their app showed "todays price" at $3.27/gal. So I planned my mileage out to get enough to stop at another station on my route that was almost 20 cents cheaper a few hundred mi away. Go to pump fuel and the price on the pump...$3.19.

    So they cant even keep their #'s right it seems.

    Bingo. Then I use my Ally credit card for .02 per dollar. Then I deposit the cash back into my Ally savings and get !0% more on that. No monthly/year fees better fuel and no inconsiderate ######## blocking the pump.

    I buy at an independent that has branded fuel. Their current PUC (Oregon) price is $2.90. I get an $0.08 cash kick back from the station every time I hit 1k gallons. In addition, I get a $0.06 per gallon credit using my Mobil fuel card.

    So, in essence that is $2.76 a gallon. That's about $0.48 a gallon lower than the nearest mega truckstop posted cash price.

    Of course, I'm not getting points for showers, however, I don't need it because I'm home most every night these days.

    But, I do get points using my Mobil Rewards card which I can in turn use towards price reduction on next fuel purchase, store goodies, etc. Most of the time I use those points to fill my personal vehicle, which is a win-win.

    Contact them directly. They'll give a current price sheet. They're mostly TAs and in the Northeast predominantly. I'm actually cancelling my membership with them. Too much junk mail and the fuel discount availability is just too limited. I've been having better luck fueling at smaller non-marked up small stations.

    Try one from TransConnect Services Fuel Card System. My friend had one. Prices are compatible to NASTC. Looks like they don't have members and others fees.
