Gas on I-88 near Albany NY

My wife and I will be going to Florida this winter from northern VT towing a 26' TT and if weather is OK want to go down I-88 to Binghamton and then down I-81 etc. There used to be a large gas stop right after getting on I-88 south where it was easy to get to the gas (non diesel) pumps with a TT attached. A few years ago it became a Pilot truck stop and the pattern to the gas pumps was changed so that a larger rig would have a tight squeeze getting to them. Any tips on other gas stops close to the north entrance to I-88 off the NY Thruway with easier access to gas pumps for a tow rig and TT?
  • We've stayed at that Flying J last year... Might be tight, but if you look at street view of it you see a rental class C in an outside lane - so if THEY could do it...! :) ST
