Never really understood why someone with a nice Class A wanted to slum it out in a truck stop. But, each to their own.

As for the difference in price between commercial and non it has to do with road taxes. With the new electronic pumps, the pump can figure it out based on if you put a DOT number in. Older fuel stops often had a pump set up for non-commercial fuel so the attendant did not have to do the math. My Pilot/Flying J card can figure it out and I've not had a problem at the pump (except for Milton PA). The individual at the Fuel Desk may be math challenged and thus the blew you off.
