I was checking rates as we were heading across Mississippi to Louisiana - I could see that the Pilot in Louisiana had higher rates (2.33/gal versus 2.11/gal at "car" fueling stations in Mississippi), but I wasn't finding a Pilot in Mississippi. So... using AllStays, I just looked for truck stops - and found one in Vicksburg - just 5 miles from the border. I looked on GasBuddy, and it didn't have a rate listed for diesel... but it was a truck stop (Kangaroo Express) -- surely they would have diesel?
We got off - the station is just north of I-20 at exit 5A. There is an entrance north of the station for trucks to use, and they have 4 diesel pumps behind the building and the price posted was $1.86. Yes, $1.86. That's almost 50 cents per gallon cheaper than the Pilot that is just a few miles into Louisiana.
Miss Doozie was thirsty - 134 gallons worth... |
We drove about 80 more miles and Miss Doozie seemed to run fine on this fuel - is there a point where the fuel is so cheap that you figure there is something wrong with it?
