Pacific Pride-Pioneer Fuel

What is their pricing structure? I'm looking for a cardlock solution that works for RV use.

Pioneer Fuel charges I think 5 cents a gallon for providing the account and then you pay whatever the individual station owner charges. Normally it's always been about the same price or within a few cents of what the local prices. The problem is you don't know the price as it's not on the pump. If you want to know before you pump you have to call Pioneer fuel and they can look it up for you. I never did that before and just waited until I got my bill. Today's bill was a little of shock.

As far as I know Pioneer is one of the few places where you can get a commercial cardlock account for a private motorhome that doesn't have a minimum purchase requirement. The other places that offer accounts for motorhome owners you have to purchase a minimum amount every month and most people wouldn't make the minimum year round.

Really the only advantage to the cardlock is their locations are nice and big and usually you are the only one there when filling up. And they don't have a $50 or $100 limit on the pump so you can pump 100 gallons if you need to without resetting. I lived in California when I originally got the account and there was a Pacific Pride near the house and it was nice and big and none of the gas stations that had diesel were easy access. Now it's not that critical for me anymore so I won't be using the cardlock anymore.
