RV CONVERSATION OF THE WEEK - New Fuel Saving Hacks One of the biggest costs RVers routinely face is fuel. Questions about how to save at the pump come up often in our social media platforms, which is why we are excited to tell you about something new. The RV Fuel Saver card by Techno RV, a fuel savings card that came out roughly a year ago for diesel purchases, is expected to branch into the gasoline market this month (February), opening up new savings for RVers who use gas. To tell us all about this, our guest is Mike Kilbourne from TechnoRV. TechnoRV's Mike Kilborne announced significant updates to their RV Fuel Saver card in February 2025. The biggest change is the expansion to include gasoline savings at approximately 4,000 stations across the United States, including major networks like Maverick, Come and Go, and Casey's. This addition responds to community feedback requesting gasoline coverage, with plans to continue expanding their network of participating stations. For diesel users, the RV Fuel Saver card currently provides discounts at over 2,000 stations, including major chains like TA, Petro, 7-Eleven, Speedway, Thorntons, Rudders, and Racetrack. While they don't cover Love's stations (which are part of the Open Roads network), TechnoRV ensures all their diesel locations are big rig friendly and capable of accommodating vehicles up to 80 feet in length.

These discounts can fluctuate significantly between states and regions due to different tax structures and local regulations.

This security measure has resulted in zero fraud cases since the program's inception, making it the only business-to-consumer fuel program with this track record according to their banking partners, EFS and Wex. The card's app, developed in-house by TechnoRV, allows users to easily locate compatible stations and manage their fuel purchases. Unlike competitors such as Open Roads, the RV Fuel Saver card doesn't require sensitive personal information like social security numbers or bank account details. Instead, users can simply link their preferred credit or debit card, allowing them to earn credit card rewards in addition to fuel savings. The RV Fuel Saver card is available for free at RV shows and rallies, or can be ordered online at TechnoRV.com for $4.99 to cover shipping costs. Cards typically arrive within 3-4 days via standard ma...
