Fuel Discount

While the fuel discount at Pilot is appreciated, for many of us, it's a benefit we cannot partake in. Why? Because we own gas motorhomes, or longer trailers being pulled by a truck fueled with gasoline, and Pilot has few provisions to accommodate our length.

Diesel? No problem; just pull into their truck lanes. My 32' gas motorhome tows a full-size SUV, and of the three Pilot stations tried while on this current trip, none could handle my overall length. Even if I dropped the toad, it would have been iffy: Most of their fuel islands for gasoline don't run parallel to the highway.

Loves, on the other hand, is a pleasant exception, or so it has been in my experience. Even at those locations where the gas pumps run at 90 degrees to the highway, the lanes are long and wide enough to allow our gasoline-fueled vehicles in and out.

Perhaps you can negotiate a discount with them, too, so us gasser's have an option that works for us.

Thank you.

  • Those saying they have no problem at FlyingJ/Pilot? That is because they are at the original "FlyingJ" stations NOT the original "Pilot's" which are old truck stops. FlyingJ/Pilot is a merger name.

    There are many of the 'original' Pilot stations that did NOT cater to cars let along RV's. I have been in ones like the op stated and it was hard pressed to just pull my Tahoe in for gas. And they always seem to be dirty inside.

    I completely quit going to Flying J because of the bad service, lazy register people AND their attitudes. When I drop over a hundred for gas/food I'd at least like to be spared the uneducated gangsta thug attitude from the people taking my money. And this was CONSISTENT across many states. :R

    Loves....Big spacious pump area, clean, and in 7 years of full timing I have NEVER had a bad experience at them. Employees are always friendly and very willing to help. When possible I try to make my fuel stops at Loves.
  • I have never had a problem gassing up at Flying J sometimes I have to wait my turn, just as those behind me have to wait theirs, and I do appreciate the discount at the pump especially with the Elite discount of .7 cents a gallon.
  • Our MH is 36' with a toad. I don't seem to have any trouble getting in or out of FJ/Pilot
  • X2 on getting discount with Loves. IMHO Loves is always nicer, cleaner and safer than Flying J.
  • Most of the Pilot/FJ we've been to have RV lanes with gasoline, diesel, propane and food.

    And there's the problem - inconsiderate cars and RVers that park at the pump and go inside for food.
  • Hello Badlands,

    Thank you for your post. I will pass this on to the Leadership Team for consideration.

    Thanks,
