We found this at Jubitz Truck Stop in Portland, OR. They have all of those billboards up advertising a very good diesel price. After you fill up and go inside to pay, you find out that they want to charge the trucking company for the fuel and then the company pays all of the road taxes.
There were other places to fuel up if you watch for them that were within two cents of Jubitz that included all of the taxes. Be aware of Jubitz - the billboards made no mention of the tax issue.
Usually the first place we'll look for diesel is to see if we can find a Sam's Club. Some of them are a little tight getting into with a 40'er, but I take care of getting it and Jeep fueled while she's in shopping so overall it saves time and money. Have only found two Costcos with diesel in (mid Arizona) but their stores are usually a lot busier than Sams, so it's harder to get a large MH into them.
