I think people should throw a 5 gallon can filled in their tool box and travel that way for a while. THEN decide do I really want to loose the bed space and spend the $$$ to have the tank. Ya need to stop to pee so why not stop and get fuel at the same time?
To save a few $ now and then is NOT worth my time. I use the TruckStops, use the facilities, possibly get something to eat and NEVER worry about getting in or out.
A few $$ now and then?? AZ .90 cents a gallon same town, next state NM cheapest was .85 more than than what I paid so I can skip that state for fuel. Go the other direction CA 4.09 that was $1.55 a gallon more so my 80 gallon tank isn't worth it? I have a range of 1000 miles +/- and I can choose the lowest price along my way. Truck stops get premium $$ and I wish we had had the apps available when I was taking on 150 gallons every other day.
"To save a few $ now and then is NOT worth my time." I said it and I meant it!
From a young guy til I retired I was the frugal guy. It paid off I retired at 54, now I don't have to be concerned with how many times I go to dinner or what the price may be cuz I surely could "save" $$$ by eating at home or McDonalds and the list goes on. I could have kept my 40k DRV instead of spending an additional 90K on a new DRV.
Botton line do what's best for you!
