"When traveling the interstates. Getting fuel is all about access and convenience. Price is secondary. What good is it if the lower fuel price is 5 miles into town at a station that may or may not have easy access?
I'll stick with the truck stops where I can easily exit the interstate and pull up to the pump without a lot of drama. I'm not really concerned if I'm not getting the cheapest price in town."
x2. My rig had roughly 125 gallons between truck tank and auxiliary tank. Lessee...for a full fillup (rarely happened), if there was a $0.10 difference, that would be an increase of $12.50. The hassle of driving through town, worrying about access, etc simply wasn't worth that sort of money.....particularly as stated above when on the interstates: angst of driving through town + loss of traveling time WAS NOT justified by (likely illusory) fuel price savings.
