The other issue with truck stop fuel prices is that much of the fuel cost is being borne by large corporations who have fuel cards that give them SIGNIFICANT discounts based on total fleet usage at a given station chain. This then allows the truck stops to hike the price and the smaller owner operators and those who think they cant get their RV into a gas station (which is exceedingly rare in reality) end up paying that inflated price.
The worst example I have seen of this is Gas at $1.85 and Diesel at $2.59 at the same FJ. There is no reason for such a huge gap. In fact the Diesel should be lower than the gas. Across the Interstate at a major brand station Diesel was at $2.09.
The sad fact is the RV'ers dont make up a big enough market share to affect the price.
