For any of us towing or just traveling, I have found the information on this site very helpful in planning a trip. http://www.gocomchek.com/gocomchek/gocomchek.nsf/Home?OpenForm

Hi All!



As a result of all the controversy of the latest fuel price increases, the following is a listing of some of the Truck Stop Web Sites. When you navigate through the sites you can get the current Diesel, Gas (“J” and one other chain only, forgot which one) prices along with the location, phone # and other amenities/ services available. At least you can get an idea of where or where not to get fuel when traveling out of your home area!



Remember that in OR the listed Diesel price is the PUC permit holder price. All others (car & RV) without a UPC permit have to ADD $0. 24/gal to the price.



In AZ the Car/RV Diesel price is -$0. 09/gal LESS than the “Big Truck” price. If you use the “Big Truck” side to fuel, most if not all truck stops will, if BEFORE FUELING, adjust the price if you call and tell them that you are a RV (they can verify it with the camera). Remember to call before fueling. To prevent “slowing up” the “big truck” side it is best to use a dedicated “RV” island or the Car Island if there is enough room. I don’t know if there are states other than AZ & OR that have similar programs.



“J” has a program called “Real Value” that gives you a $0. 01/gal discount for Diesel/Gas and $0. 05/gal discount for Propane along with other promotional items. Sign up is free and can be done over the I’net.



GoComchek is an organization that will show most of the Diesel fuel prices along the I’state system and major US highways. They won’t show the local Mom & Pop fuel located OFF the main highways. I use it mainly to determine the relative fuel costs in one area or another. I. E. should I fuel up in CO or wait until we get into KS.



If anybody knows of another Truck stop website why don’t you post it for all to see and use?

I think that most of us would rather buy from a local mom and pop that often has better prices than the big guys. When I am at home or traveling with jus my truck, that is what I normally do. That said, when I am towing, I like the easy access and huge parking areas of the truck stops. I have had a few interesting times with my trailer in small stations. .
