You're making this harder than you need to. That site only has bio stations listed that I see. Just buy where we listed or at your Shell. If this is going to drive you nuts, then you should sell. Not worth the headache.
Nice - great feedback ...I probably could cross post this in the fuel story section. Not feeling like driving all the way to Volo today due to time constraints, I fueled at my alternate station Ernie's Shell in Lincolnshire/Vernon Hills. As I'm about to hit the pump button a fuel truck pulls into the station. I hurry up as not really wanting to test the theory that its okay to fuel while the station refills its' tanks. As I'm pulling out the truck drivers waves me to stop. I'm curious, so I stop. He wanted to check out my JSW saying he has a Jetta and wished he had a TDI. So I ask him about the fuel he delivers. It turns out he is the regular delivery guy for Ernie's and that he had just dropped 7,500 gallons on Saturday. I asked him to confirm he delivers only D2 to Ernie's. He confirmed that Ernie's specially orders Premium D2 from his company. He said that's why they charge such a premium for their Diesel. He also confirmed that he only drops full loads and that no one else on his route gets D2 - only B11. He said that Ernie's has the best fuel in the area for our TDIs.
Now that (Circle K) Shell has turned to the dark side, is Meijer the only place in our area we can get straight diesel?. Our area refers to Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, Plainfield and others nearby.Shell at se corner of boughton and Rte 53 in Bolingbrook had up to 5% bio sticker this morning
The Meijer in Bolingbrook (across from IKEA) is prepay only, and you can't just hand them your credit card and fuel up. They insist on ringing something up. I tried to explain to them that this is not how we handle things in the 21st century, but they were unimpressed. Apparently too many of you hypermilers stretch their diesel dollars by just driving off.
On the positive side, the pump still has no bio stickers, claims to deliver premium ULSD fuel at $3.899/gallon, and the attendants confirmed that there is no bio in there.
I fill up there a lot and ask them when they will have pay@pump for diesel almost every time; they always say they are "working on it".The Meijer in Bolingbrook (across from IKEA) is prepay only, and you can't just hand them your credit card and fuel up.

As posted above, Rolling Meadows and Hammond IN has pay@pump as well (I go there too). Maybe the other stores can't get the $ to upgrade the pumps?...Meijer in Plainfield allows you to pay at the pump. Not sure what they need to "work on"
FWIW, perhaps mentioned already. But I happened to catch the fueler at Meijer as he was filling the station with diesel. Talked for a little bit. He claimed the Meijer diesel is the best pure diesel you can get. And pretty much the only place to get it.The Meijer in Bolingbrook (across from IKEA) is prepay only, and you can't just hand them your credit card and fuel up. They insist on ringing something up.
