Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I've got enough points for a $100 fuel card - we need diesel. Which would be our best bet traveling south on 95, or while at the fort?? Here are a list of those available: BPChevronCircle KExxon/MobilHolidayMarathonShellSinclairSpeedwaySunocoTexaco Thanks!

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I personally would avoid B ad P etroleum at all costs when it comes to diesel. I'm a Shell #1 Marathon/Speedway #2(they do joint refining) and Exxon #3 person. JMHO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 What's close to the Fort tho? We'll have about $400 in fuel cards by November, hoping to have one to use close to the Fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not sure about the route your taking but at Disney the closest diesel is a Hess station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Unfortunately, Hess is the one fuel station I can't get a card for, or I wouldn't be asking this! Just looking for my closest option for diesel that I can get card for, with the best price at the pump Not sure about the route your taking but at Disney the closest diesel is a Hess station.

Judy in Texas 150 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Try the GasBuddy app. You can filter for diesel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Go with big high volume stations close to the hwy. stale diesel can be a bummer. I like Exxon and shell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just did a quick search on Gas Buddy for lowest diesel prices near Lake Buena Vista and it came up with the 2 Hess Stations on property (both $3.99) and a Chevron at 13480 S Apopka Vineland Rd & Meadow Creek Dr that is currently $4.19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I saw that too Mo. Guess maybe I'll get the chevron. Pulling a 36' fifth wheel can limit station choices too Karen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 ...Pulling a 36' fifth wheel can limit station choices too I hear you. Our truck + camper = almost 50' which makes picking the right station a trick sometimes if we want to get in/out without difficulty. Luckily 95 gives you a lot of choices for gas with all the major players. We try and pick stops with some options just to make sure we can get in/out fairly easily. Looks like Chevron also has a mobile app if you have an iPhone, which might be helpful for using the gas cards along your route as well...http://www.chevronwithtechron.com/stations/mobile-apps.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 When we can we use the stations at Walmart's, put money on a Walmart Card and use it at the gas station for a discount on gas & diesel, but you need to be unhooked as their stations are usually not trailer friendly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 While your at the FORT there is a Shell with Diesel at 535 & 536 right around the corner from Hotel Row, it would definitely work if you don't have the 5th w. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Ah, now that's exactly what I was looking for G&G!

GAFortFans..Shawn 16 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 75 south there are a lot of shell stations. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Shell is a little higher in price in Florida (that I have noticed) than Chevron and Exxon/Mobil. That is why I steer away from them. But that is MHO. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jhkayakr 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 You want to save 4 cents or so per gallon, get a pilot card. Fuel up in SC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 10 mpg towing on a 35 gallon tank doesn't get you very far! Karen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 We are fortunate to have a 110 gallon tank and a range of up to 1100 miles. So we fuel up in SC going both directions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dalspot ... Karen 21 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 We talked about getting a secondary fuel tank but decided against it. We carry a backup 5-gallon diesel can and plan our fuel stops carefully. We don't travel long distances that often. Karen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
