Fuel for Thought

The Weekend Report

The flow kept going the rest of the week. 1400 miles isn’t something to write home about, but in combination with the previous couple weeks, it makes a strong October.

Rock Hill, South Carolina. Rock Hill looks like a good place to spend a weekend. There is a Walmart, Target and Publix. A couple truck stops within a five mile circle. Library, park and several laundromats to choose from. And most importantly, there is lots of manufacturing over a wide area for freight.

WilcoHess. I like the WilcoHess chain of fuel stops. They are the most likely to have a higher cetane rating for their fuel. I began to worry a couple years ago when one of their locations was listed as the last new gas station that they would build. Piper 1 also noticed that some of their fuel receipts were printed under the Pilot banner. Now I see on their web site that Speedway, a Marathon susidiary, bought the chain, and that we will be seeing the Speedway name speading into the Southeast. Oh well.
