If you can go 2,500 miles on a standard 2.5 gallon jug why would it matter if it's in a pump at a fuel stop?
Tractor-trailers are a different animal.....
It matters to me or I wouldn't have asked.
I’m still trying to understand the logic here.
If 2.5 gallons of DEF that costs ~$12 lasts ~2,500 the cost is ~$0.005 / mile. Buying in bulk would then cost 1/2 of that, ~$0.0025 / mile.
If diesel is $3.00 / gallon n and the TV is getting 10MPG the cost is $0.30 / mile.
If fueling at a truck stop that has bulk DEF means you pay ONLY THREE CENTS per gallon more you have more than lost any savings. If the price, as mentioned above, is $0.30 b gallon higher you are effectively paying TEN times the cost of buying DEF in 2.5 gal. jugs.
On top of all of that there is the very real potential that the DEF is on a truck island that’s in use, or one that doesn’t have the smaller nozzles so you must move pumps, pay twice, and / or wait while someone in a big truck buys 100’s of gallons of fuel.
Someone please explain how this is logical.
