What readers paid at Love's

Prices readers report from the pump: what they paid, where, and how they paid. Each one is a single fill on the date shown, not a survey average; the weekly EIA figures elsewhere on this page are the survey.

No reader has reported a price at Love's yet. Yours would be the first.

What Makes Love's Different

  • Network: 681 locations in 42 states (loves.com).
  • Its own fuel card: the Love's Express card, run by Love's Financial, with no application or transaction fees and pricing set by fleet size and volume. Discount terms are above.
  • Live prices per store: the Love's Connect app and loves.com show the posted diesel price at each location.
  • National fleet cards accepted: Comdata publishes its Love's rate; WEX and EFS discounts at Love's are negotiated by contract rather than published.
What is the current Love's Travel Stops diesel price? +
Love's does not publish a national average diesel price; each of its 681 locations posts its own price, which you can see in the Love's Connect app or at loves.com. The closest published benchmark is EIA's US on-highway diesel average: $6.35/gal for the week of October 26, 2026. Prices differ by region more than by chain, so the EIA district price for where you are fuelling (shown at the top of this page) is a better guide than the national figure.
How much does the Love's Express card save on diesel? +
Love's Financial says Love's Express Billing Program customers save "at least 20 cents off per gallon" (for new qualified customers), and up to 50 cents a gallon for new qualifying customers who also factor their freight with Love's. It lists no application or transaction fees and no account maintenance cost, and says pricing is tailored to the number of trucks and monthly volume. Love's also accepts the national fleet cards: Comdata publishes up to 8 cents a gallon off diesel at Love's on every one of its small-fleet products (fleets of 20 or fewer trucks), while WEX and EFS discounts are negotiated by contract.
Is Love's or Pilot cheaper for diesel? +
No source publishes a chain-wide price comparison, and pump prices vary more between nearby stores and regions than between the chains, so compare the posted prices in the two apps on your route. Where the chains do differ in a published way is fleet-card discounts. On Comdata's Total Advantage card the published rate is up to 8 cents at Love's and up to 10 cents at Pilot; on Comdata Max it is 8 cents at Love's and 20 cents at Pilot. Love's own Express program advertises at least 20 cents for new qualified customers.

Ask how a number on this page was built

Every figure on this site is read out of a published federal survey, which means there is always a real answer to where it came from. Send the question and a person reads it. Answers name the table, the series and the survey week, so you can go and look at the same row we did.

Where a question shows up a gap, the answer goes onto the page it came from as well as into the reply. If your question and its answer would be useful to other drivers we may publish an anonymised version, and we ask you before we do.
