Sam's Club Gas

Oh, Thanks for your service Chief!

Today in Flagstaff, AZ. Sam's Club $3.50. The next lowest price was $3.58 and went all the way to $3.79. Guess where I filled up today?

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! Not sure if the one here in Shreveport, La will have enough maneuvering room. However they are building a new one across the river in Bossier City. It's suppose to open soon. That one may work better. The Walmart gift card for Murphy's sounds like a good idea too!

We love refueling at Samsclubs across the west, as with any refueling attempt when RVing, we carefully survey the location so that we don't experience any difficulties getting in or out.

Wal-Mart and HEB Plus are having a minor gas war in our area. I can buy regular gas at either place with their discount cards for $3.149. I am now a wizard at maneuvering our 35' MH into either station!

I buy gas at Costco and Sams any time I can find one as long as it is not far out of my way. I tow a 34 ft TT and tow with a LB P/Up and never had a problem
gassing up at either one. I have been towing for many years but do not remember how long with the above. Sams etc

There is not one single configuration for pump islands at discount stores like Sam's Club and Costco. Configuration depends on how much space they had when they built the store, set uo parking, set up the fueling facilities. What I do notice is they are almost always quite busy, as are supermarket filling stations that run discounts across the fuel sales and store sales.

We use SAMs all of the time for our 40' DP. We do go over and walk the pump area first to see how we're going to get in and out. Usually do it either mid morning or mid afternoon when the traffic is less. I had to back out of one SAM's diesel pump one time, but the traffic was really slow, we knew it before we pulled in and it was OK with the attendant. As a note, I was surprised to find diesel and propane at two Costcos in northern AZ.

We don't have Sams in Oregon but we bought a membership while in California and use it heavily there and in Arizona. Saved enough on diesel to more than pay for the membership while on a three month trip. Have not found a station we could not get in with our 40 ft motorhome and toad as of yet but assume they are out there.

You should be fine, no toad will make things much easier! Scout it out first, then you'll know if it's worth the attempt to save a few cents on a gallon. Sometimes I'll pass, especially if I have to rely on other vehicles position affecting my egress making it risky. Did Sams with my 32' never with current RV.
