Fuel card savings?????????

Attended the Redmond, Oregon rally in 2012 where Marcus had just merged Good Sam into Camping World. One of the things he was touting was the Pilot fuel savings card which I thought was a great idea and immediately discussed with the attending Pilot officials and signed up. Have cents MORE per gallon and when pumping 60-70gallons costs a lot more money. Marcus, what has happened, one rumor was that these truck stops have added more truck contracts and can’t handle the additional RV business. I have also noticed that they are competitive in Gas price but not Diesel. Cut us in on what’s changed

    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.

    usually once a month or so Publix (grocery chain in the SE) offers $50 gas cards for $40 if you buy at least $50 worth of groceries, so for every 50 bucks you spend you can get a gas card basically 20% off. I don't know of any gas offer that's going to beat that, so when offered we stock up on groceries. The 5-8 cents offered by GS is laughable, considering the affiliated gas stations like Pilot are much higher priced than others to start with. Use gas buddy, and if Publix is nearby take advantage. Kroger also has a good fuel discount program when you get groceries from there.

    Gas buddy is your friend. Down load it and see all the gas prices in a area.

    Times change. It isn’t 2012...it’s almost 6 years later. Marcus runs a business. You may need a little maturing regarding economics.
