Fueling a DP

We just started using the 'cash equivalent' fuel card that we can use at Love's. Actually, the company that we went through gave us two cards, one for Love's and one for everywhere else.

We start the pump with the card, punch in two secret numbers, then fuel up. I take a picture of the pump (receipt) with my i-phone and off we go.

The funds are removed from my checking acct. at the end of the next business day with an email receipt. We get 10 cents off the cash price at Love's and 7 cents off the cash price (I think) at all the other stations.

I was reluctant to give my checking acct. number after all these years but finally decided to get into the 25th century. :p

Sorry double post

Like one of the post above, Flying J has a card that is tied in with Good Sams, get a 6 cent discount off the cash price and everything is done right at the pump.

I always pay cash and have gotten good at guesstimating how much it is going to take eg gauge shows half I'll put $100 in.

Note pump number, wifey runs money in while I do windshield, I pump and leave.

I fuel up with the big trucks. Never had as many problems as you.
Just follow the same procedure as the truckers.

We try not to use truck stops for fuel, it is usually higher in price and like you I don't like to have to go in to turn pump on and then back in to pay! Going in other stations can be tricky but the diesel pumps are usually on the end which makes it a little easier.

Sounds like some gas stations need to ditch 1985 and learn that there are pumps with credit/debit cards now. I know it's a bit different with cash because of price difference, but still.. should not be a big process. Just be sure you get a receipt at the register.

I have always used a Pilot/Flying J card..Allows you to fill up at the pump, no going inside and no limit....I believe it is through Good Sam.....6 cents off the cash price.....Pay the balance at the end of the month.....

Never had an issue with the card and fueling is never an issue....In and out in a few minutes.....In over 32K miles over the past 2 1/2 yrs almost most always use Pilot and for me it works......

Some do not like the truck stops but they are easy to navigate and typically have plenty of room....
