Spring Trip

[Don Bradner]

Before someone notes it, I should point out that both the 3.939 and 4.019 prices
are "cash" prices, and use of a credit card adds 6 cents per gallon, so the
price on the pump in the truck section at Ehrenberg will say 4.079 today. BUT,
if you have a Flying J RV rewards card, credit card price is same as cash, with
another cent per gallon discount.

The Flying J page previously linked at http://www.flyingj.com/fuel/diesel_CF.cfm
gives truck cash prices. If you use the "gasoline" page at
http://www.flyingj.com/fuel/gasoline_CF.cfm you will see that it also includes
"Car/RV Diesel" and the RV price will be correct for states like Oregon and
Arizona where cars/rvs and trucks are priced differently.

The exact method I use is:

Swipe Flying J card at truck pump.
Choose Pay Inside
Press Enter on N/A items like unit number and hub odometer
Answer state and license number if prompted
Pump fuel
Go inside and offer both FJ card and (non-VISA) credit card, saying "RV on pump
###, already pumped."
Try not to have a heart attack when seeing the bottom line

In AZ, the slip will show the total at the credit truck price, then a 6 cent per
gallon cash deduction, then an 8 cent per gallon "lightweight" deduction, then a
1 cent per gallon FJ Rewards deduction.
