Where do I get gas in my RV?
Now that I travel full time, gas station stops occur a couple of times a week. I have started to form loyalty to certain chains and figured that I would share it. I know you guys are really excited about this so here are my Top 5 favorite fueling locations:
1. Costco
The top spot goes to Costco. They almost always have the best prices on fuel. I split a Costco membership with my brother and his family. Since I stop to get gas so much, the savings more than pays for my half of the annual membership fee. I don’t usually shop here because all of their larger sizes wouldn’t be a good fit for my small RV. Every few months, I’ll attend an RV meetup, which usually consists of a potluck so Costco is my place to get something. I also usually go inside for a thrifty $2 lunch!
2. Sam’s Club
Next up is Sam’s Club for all of the same reasons listed above. Sam’s Club has more locations than Costco but wins on fuel prices and better hot dogs!
3. Pilot / Flying J
This is a good chain of truck stops. I prefer parking here if I am on the road and need a place to pull over for a couple of hours or for the night. I have worked remotely from their truck lounges before also. They are RV friendly and easy to pull through. They are usually my go-to place if I am traveling and need to dump my RV tanks. Pilot / Flying J has a good rewards program/app and usually has a free offer or a buy one get one deal. I usually shower at the gym or in my RV but a truck stop shower is a last resort option also!
4. Love’s
Honorable mention goes out to this chain of truck stops just because they are awesome too. Most of the items listed about Pilot / Flying J is the same for Love’s also.
5. Shell
Shell has a large number of locations and is sometimes in areas that the larger stops above can’t fit into, like downtown neighborhoods. My cell phone provider is T-Mobile and Shell usually has a 10 cent per gallon discount on T-Mobile Tuesdays!
If you have a favorite gas station that you think I missed or should take another look at, please let me know below! I’m interested to hear if you have any loyalty to a gas station! Thanks!
