Arrow Best places to fuel up (Lakeside area)

Dose anyone know of a few reliable places to get Diesel Fuel (ie.. High volume turnover) around the Shelby Twp., Utica, Sterling Heights, Rochester area.

One seems to be at Mound and 19 Mile, Sunoco, they also service local area businesses such as other station’s tow trucks and such.

Also any places to stay away from.

Sorry, Late to the thread. Normally the cheapest is at Canal and Hayes, next place would be Utica and Grosebeck. Most reliable would be Spencers, Common and Grosebeck ( turn West on Common ). Price varies alot at Spencers, but they also have Diesel Supreme. At 9 and Sherwood they sell Bio, but I havent found the place yet, havent looked that hard yet either.

Thanks for the input. There's a station on the east side of Van Dyke just north of Hall Rd. (M59) that has Bio-Diesel, B25, (25% is too high of a blend for my truck).

Ford's recomendation. They say not to go higher than a 5% blend on the 6.0.
Oh, and yes I think it was once called the Clock. I think the station is a Clark station.

Thanks Rick, still a little over 3/4 from last Sunday, 3.83 that day!!

Rick, how is your 6.0 treating you?? I have a friend that has bought his with 40,000 miles, about 4 months ago, I think in total he has only physically owned it a month. It has had a new short block installed, trans, turbo, ect. And last week, Sunday, it just shut down on him up at the car wash on 23 and Hayes.. He was able to restart it, after 2 hours and disconnecting his battery. I feel for this guy...

So far it's been great! Bought it about the 3rd week in August. Had 59,459 miles on it. Was getting about 17 mpg on it combined city/highway. Oasis report had only one item on it, the Emissions Reflash. I usually only run it on the weekends now. Don't make sence to use it for work everyday when the Rice burner gets 28 mpg running the same route.
I think that car wash is the one I use. Is it actually east of 23 & Hayes, maybe 1/8 of mile or less?
