johnaye said:One downside of truck stops is the fuel is usually more expensive due to taxes.
With all due respect, all stations in a particular state are subject to the same state and federal taxes. It is true that the major truck stops often charge more, but that's a business decision and has nothing to do with the taxes.
There are some states where truck diesel pumps are subject to higher taxes than pumps at gas stations intended for automobiles. I believe OR and/or AZ are two of those states. But, technically, it is illegal to use an automobile diesel pump to fuel a heavy vehicle in those states even though lots of people do that.
