Don,

I don't think I'm making your head hurt, I think the bag is a little too tight. You do have a good point. I should have mentioned that only applies to D and E units. For B and C units the only key is checking the wholesale price at T/A to see if it's a good place to stop. Some of them are very good and others are no better than Pilot or J. The T/A in Jessup, MD is $2.919 on the pump and $2.703 wholesale plus the 4.5 cents Panther upcharge making it $2.748, a pretty good savings. I've called others and the wholesale was only a couple cents below the posted price. I think it was a glitch in the system that day because usually it's about a 20 cent spread but it's good to check.
