I have always been able to find fuel cheaper down the road from a Pilot.
Yeah. To the tune of 20-25 cents a gallon. I used to use Flying J all the time, then Pilot bought them and things went into the toilet. Not only is there gas and diesel pricing WAY out of line, I find half of the station fuel desks give differing stories about if you can use your "Discount Card" at all, and others profess to knowing everything and then give give you a story that doesn't have the slightest resemblance to the truth.
Use Gas Buddy, and the the street view of Google earth and you will get the best fuel prices as well as actually see the best way in to the station you choose.
Ditto here as well. I too would always use a Flying J whenever possible. However, I too found that as soon as they merged with Pilot, they "went into the toilet" as you say, and they went quite quickly too. At one time I intentionally looked for Flying J's for fuel stops. Now, I tend to avoid them whenever possible.
