Just use the Gas Buddy App you will save by driving a few miles away from major highways, current spread in my area is .30 in a 3.5 mile radius. I'll save more with a short drive. Truck stops get premium prices for their fuel.
Around here the Love's truck stop is ~5¢ per gallon less than most of the local shops but it's on the wrong side of the freeway for me, not worth 5+ minute detour to save 50-75¢. I actually find your statement interesting, they certainly can't charge a premium for diesel, truckers have too big of tanks, if you're fleecing them they'll just go down the road to someone with better prices. Heck, many of them avoid whole states with high taxes.
Really? Local Murphy Express $2.38, Petro, Flying J & Pilot $2.99, I have two diesel pickups and owned a class 8 the took 150 gallons with half tank. Even with the GS discount of .5 do the math, you will save more than 75 cents. The big trucks use the truck stops due to maneuvering room, and multi high flow pumps, and fuel cards, parking for sleep, restaurants and showers. It's a lot easier maneuvering 14K at 50ft than 80K at 75ft. And yes I did skip states with high fuel costs with 300 gallon tanks X 5-6 mpg I could cross multi states on a single fill. Play with the app and look at the price differences, truck stops will always be higher 100% of the time.
