Don,
It just depends upon when and where. Right now GB diesel in Lodi FJ 2.65 Loves 2.69 Lost Hills FJ 2.75 Loves 2.69, Volero 2.63 which is your point. Yet a few miles down the road in Frazier Park FJ is 2.65 with no other big competitor - go figure. The FJ figures do not include my .03 discount.
Nasty truck lanes can/do occur at many stations. 4 wheelers and the RV lanes are often clueless.
Not trying to defend FJ as they have their share of issues if not more so. I'm not sure how much if any improvement has occurred with the Pilot takeover. Also I seem to recall some independent FJs that were not part of the merger?
