Interstate Gas Stations that have Diesel

Will be travelling from VA to Disney in a week. Question, I prefer to not stop at Flying J's/Love's due to higher cost. When the interstate signs at an Exxon/Shell/BP have the word diesel above their sign is that typically that they just sell diesel at the normal gas pump island and don't have a dedicated truck lane that sells diesel? tks

Means they SELL diesel fuel..........nothing more/nothing less

I've noticed that on the major roads, there is usually a Shell/Exxon etc at the same exit as a Flying J/Pilot, almost always cheaper. Check on google maps satellite view to see if there's a truck lane. If not, see if there's an end lane that doesn't trap you by the store building.

Here's an example first exit in CT. The Pilot is on the north side of I-95. Across from the Subway on the south side is a Shell Station with islands parallel to the store. 10 cents cheaper.

You are going to Disney and don't like high cost?

They are now charging for overnight parking at their hotels. :(

Flying J's RV Islands with Good Sam 8¢ discount and Visa card with another 3% discount make stopping there not outrageous.

Plus after fueling, park and go inside the Denny's with a AARP card 15% discount. :)

Rather pay a little extra for fuel then get stuck in a Mom & Pop station being hard to get in or out of.

Good Luck

Install the Gas Buddy app on your phone. You can select 'Diesel' and it will show the diesel stations near you or you can enter a city/town that you will be passing thru and it will show whether the stations in that area have diesel.

From my experience unless they are truly a truck stop they typically do not have separate lanes. And ease of entry/exit varies. A lot. I also avoid truck stops unless necessary. When needing diesel in an unfamiliar area on an interstate I look for an exit with a sign indicating two or more name brand stations giving me option on selecting what appears to be the easiest in/out.

Hard to say. It could be rv friendly or not. We use the Next Exit guide which, I believe, has an app. We use the book, ordered off Amazon. It gives you info on every exit off a major interstate or highway and if it's rv friendly it's printed in red.

we have the same book and have learned thru experience that the 'RV friendly' notation is not always true. not sure how the publisher defines 'RV Friendly' but about half the time upon arrival we find there is no way for us to enter the station much less exit. fyi.
