Hey, all:
I think I have read all the "diesel" postings there are and have not found an answer to my question but If I am touching on a topic that has already been beaten to death please forgive me. I am about to depart to a destination off the beaten "Interstate path" and I'm concerned with the availability of Diesel Stations off the interstate (I have always traveled interstate highways). I have my copy of The Next Exit and it's FANTASTIC but it only covers intersate exits. I'm planning on going to Branson, Mo (just for the heck of it) but clearly I have to travel OFF the interstate to get there. I will be coming UP from I-10 (Panama City, Fl area) and the route takes me up a SR 231 and then over to a SR 78, then to SR 65, etc., etc. How do I determine if there are Diesel Stations along these various State Roads or do I fill up at the exit where I leave the Interstate and hope and pray I reach another Interstate Exit before I run dry (sarcasm). Trucker travel all over the country without STAYING on Interstates. THEY find stations off the beaten path (don't they?)
