The Love's price on this page is an estimate, not a chain-specific survey figure.EIA surveys the retail market as a whole, not individual chains, so no federal figure exists for Love's. The cash price here is an indicative national estimate that tracks the EIA US on-highway diesel average; it is not a survey result for Love's, and location-level prices differ by far more than the chain-to-chain gap. Use the Love's Connect app for the live price at a specific location before you fuel.

What Makes Love's Different
- Best quick-shop selection: Love's typically carries more grocery / convenience items than Pilot. Fresh food, expanded snack aisles, and consistent Subway/McDonald's footprints.
- I-40 / I-30 / I-35 stronghold: Love's has the densest coverage in Oklahoma, Texas Panhandle, New Mexico, and Arizona - the Southwest freight corridor. Drivers on this corridor can stay within Love's network all the way from Memphis to Los Angeles.
- Professional driver lounge: Dedicated driver lounge, laundry, showers, and CAT Scale at major locations. Love's showers are consistently rated highly by professional drivers.
- Love's Connect app: Live diesel prices at every location, shower reservations, parking space availability at some locations.
- Competitive cash prices in the Southwest: Love's tends to undercut Pilot slightly in states where it has dense coverage (OK, TX, NM, AZ).

How does the Love's Express Card work? +
The Love's Express Card is a fleet fuel card accepted at all Love's locations, with no annual fee for basic accounts. Its per-gallon discount is set by your account terms rather than a published flat rate, but roughly 8-10 cents/gal is typical. Love's also accepts the major national fleet cards: Comdata advertises 8 cents/gal off diesel at Love's (comdata.com, for fleets of 20 or fewer trucks), and WEX discounts are negotiated by contract and volume rather than published as a flat per-gallon rate. The Express Card is best for drivers who primarily run routes with heavy Love's coverage - the Southwest, I-40 corridor, and Southern Plains.
Is Love's better than Pilot for diesel? +
Love's cash diesel prices are often 1-3 cents/gal lower than Pilot Flying J in the Southwest and I-40 corridor. For fleet-card holders, the comparison depends on your card: Comdata advertises 8c/gal at Love's vs up to 10c/gal at Pilot (both for fleets of 20 or fewer trucks), slightly favoring Pilot. WEX is negotiated and roughly comparable at both chains. Love's Express Card savings (about 8-10c) are in the same range as Pilot Pro Card rewards. The biggest differentiator is geography: Love's is stronger in the Southwest; Pilot is stronger on I-80 and the Northeast.
