0 manholt Report post Posted August 6, 2018 If they take trucks, they will take you! Just shut of engine and generator in 5 minutes after you get to pump...crazy law! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 wildebill308 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 I never had a problem on I-90 at any truck stop/rest area I used. I can't find any "Oasis" rest areas on I-90. Where are you starting frome? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 manholt Report post Posted August 6, 2018 I-90 from Buffalo, WY to Boston, MA. Like WBill, did not see an "Oasis"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 manholt Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Byron, Linda does the card walk! 100+ gal. at a time, don't work at today's price's on a $100-150 max at pump! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bm02tj Report post Posted August 6, 2018 A lot of the time the smaller station has a better price so I will give them my card and get them to start the two pumps I need to fill saddles with moving reg side to side to fill after making sure I have room and the wife watches the my back 44 ft of rig does not fit some stations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 wildebill308 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Carl, at the 2 places I used on the NY Thruway-I-90 I had to run the card with an estimate of my purchase. No problem with the card I rang up $300. each time. They only charge your card with what you pump. Just go back in and get receipt for what you actually pumped when done. They could do a better job with the truck pumps but it is what it is. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 pcowen Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Bill I will be starting from Chicago. Know the route to Buffalo but was curious if needed to exit turnpike to get gas. Thanks for feedback. Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 manholt Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Phil. No need to exit. I would, don't care much for Freeways or Toll roads! I allow enough time and stops to enjoy our country...that's just my humble opinion! With a 700+ mile range, I don't worry about fuel stops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for feedback. Phil Phil, look at Gas Buddy, I would avoid buying Gas in PA as it is higher than Ohio or NY, actualey I would fill up before I hit the PA line headed east. Last cheap gas. Is your Bounder gas or diesel? Adding coach info to signature helps get better answers faster. I had no problem geting fuel at the service plazas on the thruway.

0 obedb Report post Posted August 7, 2018 When I was a trucker, the big fuel chains rolled out the Red Carpet for truckers with the right fuel cards and frequent fueler cards. I remember rolling into the Flying J in Salina KS on fumes. Twin 150 gallon tanks on a KW and if memory serves, pumped somewhere 🤔over 270 gallons into those highly polished babies. At the most 20 minutes, while washing the windows, parking the rig, picking up my fuel receipt on a round about. Never had to say one word to people behind the fuel desk. Then on to a shower. Fueling with our diesel powered motorhome at the same truckstop, I feel like low rent.🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big fifth wheel with a big toter? Better prices are nice but if you can't get in and out easy it isn't worth the hassle. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
