fuel lately

[belfert]

All three stations have competitive gasoline prices, but not diesel prices.  I have fueled my diesel car at the $4.67 station a lot because until the last few weeks they have often been the low price station by a few cents.

Maybe the three stations are owned by the same person!  Think about it, would be a clever way of selling fuel at elevated prices with no one complaining because it is so much higher at other stations!  I think weird, comes with age.  John

Diesel was 4.01 yesterday here in Baraga.

At one time within the last year or two all three stations were owned by a local fuel distributor, but one appears to have been sold now.  The $4.18 station has a very competitive price right in the middle of the price range across the Twin Cities so it isn't like they are trying to rip people off.

I did see on twincitiesgasprices.com that some stations are now at $3.99 which marks the first time below $4 in some time.  Barring major disaster it looks like it won't cost anywhere near the $5 or $6 per gallon we planned on for a trip to Witchita at the end of the month.

$4.21 yesterday at a truck stop in Tye TX. The day before it was 4.27. Maybe it will continue to drop, I only put in 30 gallons for now. Here's hoping.

Best place for fuel, and obviously, no one from the board is there, is in emporia, ks.  flying j has ulsd and lsd for 3.939.  Pembroke, NY is still using up the expensive stuff at $4.399.

i'll be running out there later to top off about 80 gal worth of the cheap stuff on top of the 60 gal of $4.749 from my last fillup.

Is the Emporia Flying J the last exit before the tollway?  I'm heading down to Witchita in two weeks and we'll probably stop there for fuel.

I noticed that Flying J propane prices have skyrocketed!  $1.99 last fall and $3.19 now.  I suppose I shouldn't be surprised with oil prices these days.

1.429$/ liter in Quebec city...

3.939 at Gary, IN, Peculiar, MO, and Emporia, KS Flying J.

also, in case no one else got the flyer from flying J, then now have a credit card that you can get the cash discount with, as well as a discount if you have their RV courtesy card.

i'm sure the price above is the cash price, so you can get an added $.01 off with their RV card.

[makemineatwostroke]

never been in a Flying J RV island where the charged extra for credit cards Loves will get you.You don't get the $.01 at FJ anymore unless you spend money in the overpriced c store and restaurant

[white-eagle]

i don't go to the flying j rv island.  tooo sloooowwwww pumps and narrow island.  usually the turn up past the front doors is a pain also.  my wheelbase doesn't turn a 20 foot circle very well without an air horn warning going off as someone starts backing up toward me so they don't get behind me.   

i pull in to the truck area where the fuel is less and a cash discount as posted on most signs.

we do shows so my driving is partly for a living so i got no problem filling at the truck pumps.

and yes, you do have to buy a ton of stuff to get a discount at the overpriced store or the restaurant that serves a whole lot of bad taste for a reasonable price.  but don't tell anyone i said that cause i don't want one of flying j's waitresses spittin on my plate.  we ate at one and i wish i'd had a pb and jelly sandwich in the coach instead.

[makemineatwostroke]

Some FJs are tight I have 45ft and get in bind but the truck islands are always dirty and  the wife does not diesel in the coach plus I live Scottsdale and use the Rv island to save the $.08 a gal even if i do weigh over 26,000 they don't bother me
