I personally like the truck stops. Easy in - easy out, and the fuel pumping is much faster than at a service station. Also, I'm restricted, at least in Texas, to $75.00 and the pump kicks off. At truck stops you fuel until you are full.

I asked a DPS (State Trooper) one time about the sign at gas stations saying "No Smoking," He stated that is is not a law, but a company policy. With that said, many times I have seen a person walking across the parking lot to get into their automobile and light a smoke. I guess it doesn't apply to them because the sign says "No smoking when refueling!" Thinking about the many times that I have seen someone smoking, lighting up, or putting out (worse yet) a smoke, I have to think about how far back the flame is to the refrigerator or furnace. When I do think about it, I just leave the refrigerator on propane. I have not yet had to travel with the furnace on. Can't seem to get the wife to ride back there. :-)
