Damn, this is expensive. I get just about all of my fuel at the Flying J's in Greenwood, LA/Bessemer, AL/and Dallas,TX. Fuel hovers somewhere around 2.90 on average for me.

I sometimes fill up in Temple, GA, depending on where I am headed when I unload in the area, but fuel is always a few cents higher than my other fuel stops at this location.
