Thanks again--this time "TR" but what I'm failing to get across is that I have been using links and finding the info INCORRECT. Now, No doubt there are stations along the interstates I travel but I generally don't fuel up enroute, always before. A querk? No, safety--my father taught me to keep 'er filled BEFORE starting a trip. I'll be OK but I'll say again that without LOCAL stations carrying ULSD I am very hesitant in considering a $25,000 car, no matter how many afficianados lend support and no matter how many stations are
supposed to carry the proper fuel. I really don't mean to offend the dyed-in-the wool supporters here (and it appears that I am)
but, when so-called "data" is proven wrong time and time again---and I am proving it WRONG (no ULSD available despite what the links may say---at least at LOCAL stations) I'm apprehensive--no matter how far a tank of fuel will take me. When I need fuel, I don't want to feel interstate travel is a requirement.
Case one. One website (NOT the one "TR" provided me here) indicated that a Valero station three blocks from my home carries diesel. Being out of town, I contacted Valero corporate headquarters and they told me that 99% of their stations carry ULSD. I practically had written out my deposit check and was feeling pretty lucky with this information---until I got home Friday night and found the station three blocks from my home does NOT carry the correct fuel--money back into my pocket!! "
Information" incorrect. Case two (forgive the case by case presentation here but, I know what I am talking about despite what advice has been stated here) a SUNOCO station identified on another website (again "TR", NOT the website you have given me here!) indicates diesel and, as we all
know, 99.99999% of diesel stations carry the ULSD
---this one does not carry ULSD.
"Information" incorrect. The local SHEETZ station (popular around my area) has diesel, again NOT ULSD!
"Information" incorrect.
I am now on the website that TR gave me and I am finding that different stations are being identified as carrying ULSD. I won't have time to check them out (closest is around 10 miles away--way too far for a special, investigative trip) particularly since I am packing again today to be on the road for five days this coming week. I'm going to wager that this latest information will be accurate and find as well that I have been looking at the wrong sites for information and visitng the wrong stations to which I have been referred. I'll look back at these posts in a few months and see that they represented some initial learning needed on my part. A rocky start though.....
Being new here it may not seem to be my place to give advice and I wouldn't---except that there is a clear need to do so. It is not new advice--I've seen it given here before but, don't presume that what you have been told is corrrect. I have found that many times it is not.
Thanks to all for the accurate information I have been able to discover here---and there has been a wealth of it!
