Where I fill up my Ford -diesel often is the cheapest fuel.
Problem is that truck stops converted to B20, what is fine for Ford, but my sedans should not go above B5.

The Valero station sells B5 for $4.09, but the same people operate Chase truck stop on left side, who sells B20 for $3.34
Cheapest regural at nearby ARCO is $3.59 or $3.83 at Valero
