e115 and others where have you found to be the best to fill up? I was using Hess on Wolf RD, but they have gone out of control lately. A trucker friend suggested The Exit 23 Truck Stop in The Port of Albany. I am gonna check that out today after work.


Prices shot up $.15 in the last day what is going on!

I know that there is this one place on RT9W heading towards glenmont that is always a lot cheaper than the regular stations. This is sort of like a mini truckstop I guess. Tbalz we should get together sometime. I live in Latham, where bouts are you?

There are two truck stop like places near each other. The one on 9W is Called the Big M or something like that and then there is one right on the outskirts out the city of albany at the Port that should be even cheaper than the place on 9W. I am gonna drive down after work today a see how they look and what the prices are.


I work in Latham and spit my living time between Colonie(near Everett Rd) and Knox

When driving through Troy on Hoosac Street (Route 7) I sometimes stop at the Hess station, but I have not been by there lately as all the construction on that road makes it better to avoid.

guys


I checked out the truck stop place on 9W..prices were not any better than anywhere else (2.13)


I ended up filling up on Central ave by Everett at the Hess for 2.09


I was in Cobleskill over the weekend and it was also 2.09 at Hess


Light had come on and i went another 10miles and it was still just under 30 gallons..my gasser would be about 32 or so..It must be foaming up I guess. I cut the pump speed to half for the last five gallons to allow it to settle down too.





It is pretty sweet to have drivin from Albany to Loudon, New Hampshire and back throught the mountains and then to work and back a week with a few other 20 mile trips mixed in on one tank of fuel

I live just over the line in Western Massachusetts. Fuel here has shot up 20 cents in the last week! TOTALY OUT OF CONTROL! In some places it is $2.20 a gallon. I also was in Cobbleskill a few weeks ago and Hess was the place to get Fuel. Agway was more expensive.
