We stop quite frequently when we travel. A 3 hour drive will take us 8 hours, because we stop so much. Small Mom and Pop stores to mega Wall Marts! Small back road gas stations and restaurants that aren't even listed in a phone book they are so out of the way. ...

Just a suggestion, but during one of your stops (or your passenger can do this while moving on the road) you could plan ahead and use the Gas Buddy app for a cellular-enabled tablet or smart phone. Set Gas Buddy on diesel, and type in either the town where you want fuel up, or just press ""Find fuel near me." Many listings are shown well off the interstates.

That way you'll not only see where the best recent diesel prices are, but you'll also avoid driving through gas-only stations looking for diesel while towing.

This is what we do, use the GasBuddy app to find which stations have diesel. I will map out our trip and use the app to find which stations have diesel, then I'll pull up google maps and look at the Street View and satellite to see how the station is arranged. My husband is not an experienced tower, so knowing where we can stop ahead of time reduces his stress.

Also, in my limited experience, if a station has diesel, they also have room to pull in and out. The only time we haven't found that to be the case is along I-70 in Colorado in the mountains in areas like Vail. They just don't have the space to have big pull through gas stations. So, we plan ahead to avoid having to need to stop there.
