For many, many years, my wife and I fueled almost exclusively at Flying J facilities for the simple reason that we found their diesel fuel pricing to be consistently among the cheapest and they provided free dumps. A year ago we encountered a $10. dump charge at FJ in East Boise. At that time I wrote to this forum and also to FMCA officials commenting on our experience. Since then, we have not fueled at any FJ facility and have watched the FJ and Pilot pricing since the Pilot takeover. Our conclusion is that their diesel fuel pricing is consistently and substantially higher than the competition. Recent example- Needed fuel in Las Vegas area. FJ and Pilot minimum $4.199. Found fuel through gasbuddy.com web site at $4.01. Can not understand FMCA's continually supporting FJ/Pilot.

My wife and I have been RV'ing for over 25 years and have been regular customers of Flying J and spent thousands of dollars at their establishments. Recently we were charged $10.60 to dump at their East Boise facility. When my wife told me this and I had finished dumping, we visited with the Manager. He told us that if you had a Rewards Card they would credit back to that card $5. of the charge. He wound up giving my wife $5. cash back. We do not agree with those of you who have posted herein support for this new policy. Since they have filed for Bankruptcy protection, and apparently are engaged in negotiations with Pilot, we have noticed other changes in their policies including relatively higher diesel fuel pricing. Do those of you who support this new policy think that their charging RV customers for dumping their holding tanks might have prevented bankruptcy? If so, please do some research regarding what happened at Flying J, leading to the Bankruptcy filing. My wife and I have no intention of purchasing up to 200 gallons of diesel fuel and paying Flying J to dump our holding tanks. We urge the RV community to boycott Flying J until they remove the dump charge. Rather than relying on Flying J for fuel and dumps, we will purchase our fuel elsewhere and rely on RV Dumps.com to locate dump facilities. Len & Sharon Lofthus F87624
