Gas stations for Class A gassers with space
Generally speaking, I know the Love's and Pilots and Flying J's have just diesel pumps in the semi area. But for a gasser with a toad, what stations have large enough areas?

Actually, my search is TWO FOLD:
Gasbuddy map to scroll along my route for the least expensive fuel on that day's route. Takes about 2 minutes to scroll a full day's drive. Choose stations with cheap fuel where I will need it. I know some prefer a particular brand, but over the years I have found that the places with the best prices seem to move the most fuel so it is fresh.
Copy and paste address from Gasbuddy in to Googlearth to look at both overhead and street view.
Works every time.
And, often there is $.30 difference in price per gallon. That is $15-$25 a tank difference. Got other places to go with that $$.
By using Gas Buddy and Google apps. I find it common to see a variation of a few cents between stations in a market area. Absent occasional outliers, I have yet to see any place where gas prices "often" vary by $0.30 a gallon. At no point have I ever been trapped into paying that much over market, as there is some other option, nearby. Bottom line, if your gasser is getting less that 10MPG, there is little incentive to travel very far off of your intended path, to save, what is typically a few pennies per gallon, since the time and fuel used to find the "savings" means that it can actually cost more.
