On our trip north ( 1st of March )  I had a fill up of $528 on the first day when we left Florida and on the second day a fill up of $529 and both times it was about 136 gal. on the TSD card and the discount was not as good as it was on the trip down 2 months earler

So maybe they have raised the daily rate do to the fact we are getting hosed at the fuel pumps now

Their discounts are renegotiated frequently so you have to check the app before fueling.

Were all the stops of stations where they have the largest discount? Last time I used my TSD card the largest was at TA/Petro, but it does change from time to time. Also, not all stations in a network participate in the negotiated rates, so again the app is important.

Dave -

Another fueling discount app is "Mudflap." It's similar to GasBuddy, but geared toward the trucking industry. I have it on my phone as well as TSD's OpenRoads, GasBuddy, and Google Earth.

(Why Google Earth? To confirm there's room to maneuver the coach & toad if fueling somewhere other than a truck stop.)

FWIW & HTH. . . ;)

RJ

thanks as now I have that app on my phone so I can compare the best price

now to bad I can't use eather one in Canada
but I use my Canadian Tire master card and get 5 cents off a litre .
 that would be - 19 cents a gallon ( USgal ) and it adds up to thousands of $$ but you can only spend the money in a Canadian Tire store but I have no problem doing that as that is one of my favorite stores

again thanks

We always stop in Whitehorse YT Canadian Tire, great store! In the same parking lot as Super Walmart, full service Fuel stop with dumps, potable water, LP, etc. And right up the road going N one can make tje decision what boarder crossing entering AK to use. I just completed subscribing to TSD/Open Roads and awaiting the card in the mail. It should be a great help we hope..
