Gregory,

LOL!
Good advice, but they need to fill up outside of Cali...... I
invested *only* $250 for 105 gallons last Sunday here in Texas. And
then of course I saved a whole penny a gallon with my Flying J RV card!

Jim and Wanda, I usually fill up using the slow setting on the truck
pumps to reduce the fuel blowback. The truck pumps are so fast it
doesn't take but a few seconds longer and I don't get to wear diesel
fuel back into the Bird.
