I guess I'll be the Lone Ranger here.
I full time so may be a little different then you.
I added an RDS 40 gallon/tool box combo to my truck as one of my first mods. I now carry almost 80 gallons of diesel. I buy fuel when and where I want to.
Normally, I buy fuel after I get set up in a campground for the night. I combine the trip with a grocery or dinner run. Or maybe not. Lots of times the campground is close to a major interstate exit so it may be just a short stand alone trip after dinner at the camper.
I also use Gas Buddy. And since whoever has the cheapest price usually pumps the most fuel, that's where I go. High volume = fresh fuel.
I've been doing it this way since the end of April (8,500 miles). Have not used a truck stop once (except to buy a Trucker's Atlas). Have had zero fuel problems.
I just got to Santa Fe last night. Gas Buddy says there's a Murphy about 2 miles away. Sounds like a Walmart/dinner/fuel run is in the cards.
Love my aux fuel tank. Best Thing Ever.
