Ric and Jan, where are you from, we live in Southern IL also. Have 15K miles on our Seneca and love it, drives like a pickup almost as well as a car. We bought an Allegra in TX, got 60 miles down the road and took it back. Told the dealer there was no way I was going to drive that thing all the way back to Southern IL. I didn't care what it cost me I was not taking that thing home. They then showed us the Seneca and we liked it but after driving it we loved it.

Seems like there are a lot of Seneca-Owners in S. IL! We are in the Mt. Vernon area

Truck stops are nice, but the prices aren't.

I use truck stops if I have no other choice, b/c they are very convenient and easy to use, but I've noticed they are typically a lot more than other gas stations. For example, going from Georgia to South Carolina on I-85 I noticed that the truck stops were all in the 2.65 range for diesel, but I found a QT that actually had truck lanes for $2.15 right on I-85. .50 cents a gallon makes a big difference on my fuel costs and I'm willing to be inconvenienced some to take advantage of that. I am careful to look at one of my apps like Gas Buddy or similar app to see what the prices are ahead and then look at a satellite image of the station to see if I can get my coach into it easily. Sometime I can't, but sometimes I can. I will sometimes pull into a murphy station, which is normally near a walmart and fill one side, then pull out and turn around in the walmart parking lot and go back to fill the other side. Yes, it is a hassle, but for $15+ at a fueling I can deal with hassle. We sometimes to long trips of 5-6k miles, so if I fill up 10 times and can save $20 on just some of those, then it is worth it to me.

If money was no object, then I'd be at truck stops everytime though.

You have a Freightliner dealer right there in town. We are in Percy about 20 miles west of DuQuoin, have to hook up some time.
