Don’t Use TSD Fuel Card In Oregon

User beware
First use,and strike number one.

Received our settlement statement from TSD.

Apparently, Oregon is the only State that charges and
additional .36 to every gallon of fuel for PUD tax, so instead of the
2.13 a gal posted on the app, it turned into 2.50 after everything.

Should have gone to Fred Meyer.
Just an FYI
  • Thanks for the heads up but please provide more detail. Are you saying that the TSD listed fuel price in OR does not include the 36 cents? Does the station display price include that tax? Since we're usually on the coast and With very few TA TSD stations in OR, not sure I've ever used TSD there.

    AZ has a 8 cent tax on trucks which you don't pay with the TSD card. Otherwise you have to tell them you're a RV so you don't pay.

    Hi. No. No refer. S15 I believe Or B5/10
    Apparently that little gotcha it is buried somewhere in their contract.
    Didn’t read it, and not upset about it

    Just letting others know who may not be aware and haven’t read it
  • i know PUD is 'Planned Unit Development' but that makes little sense in the context of the post.
  • Planned Unit Development

    That seems really odd that the state of Oregon applies that across the state as it is usually within a very specific and limited geographic area such as a new housing development, Shopping center or along those lines and generally relates to the development plan about what can and cant happen within the PUD and even then I personally have never seen a PUD tax. I have seen a PIF (Public Improvement Fee) to help pay for infrastructure in a very specific area. Say a new shopping center that required some additional infrastructure then all retail business in that area charge a PIF (which is not a tax) so if you also have to pay sales tax the PIF gets taxed as well. They are usually for a very specific boundary area and for a very specific time period.

    This does not make sense are you sure it was a PUD tax, if so must mean something different than the normal definition of a PUD
