The way we have avoided the credit card problem for the last ten years is for the DW to go inside and give them the credit card and get them to turn the pump on. Sometimes they ask for an approximate amount so they can get approval but then only charge for the actual amount filled. It works every time and we have no problems filling, even our 100 gallon DP.

We use Loves car islands and other standard gas stations. We prefer islands that are not perpendicular to the building as they are more like pull throughs.
We use Costco early in mornings before store opens and have not encountered any back ups.

Even though we have a 40' DP, I may use a truck stop for fuel only once a year, they charge too much.
I much prefer Sam's Club or Fred Meyers for their grocery/fuel discounts. Other then that, use Gas Buddy and the aerial view before you get to a gas station.

Thanks, yeah, we're Costco people, but those pumps are always jam packed. Much better prices for sure. I don't think we have Meyer's on the west coast, but I think some of the grocery stores have the discounts as well.
Yes, we do Costco also, but their pump spaces are both too small and too crowded. Sam's Club has a lot more room and while you're filling up the DW can grocery shop in Walmart and you can stay in the same parking lot. Go to Kroger's website to see all of the different names they operate under. There are Freds in Washington and AZ. You can use your gas rewards at any of them by either scanning your rewards card or putting in your phone number.
They closed the two Sam's Clubs in Alaska last summer, but we keep our membership just filling up the MH stateside.
It's less about the cost (although I'd love cheaper gas too!) is about getting maneuvering around the car area. We have a 40 foot RV with a car on the back and dealing with all the cars and the c-store is really a pain. Looking at the aerial view is a good idea also.
Thanks,
