OK, so I wasn't actually there, and I am not the eyewitness to this story, but I am very thankful…read morefor how it all turned out. My mother was passing through the area on her quarterly trip from the Keys up to Ocala, and a couple of miles from Lake Placid when her car started, and I quote, "bucking and lurching and missing, had no power". She got it to the Raceway in Lake Placid, which is a station that she apparently goes to on this route pretty much every time because of the facilities. So there she was, stuck at a gas station in the middle of Florida, pretty much in the middle of her journey, with a frozen turkey and a cat to take care of. She brought the cat inside the Raceway station (in her cage, of course), where they were happy to help her out with water and a cool place. She called me first, and I offered to come down to get her (about three hours drive for me), but she opted to call up AAA and get a tow, which they were willing to perform all the way to Ocala. However, one of the staff at the Raceway apparently had a boyfriend who was a mechanic, and she called him up and got him out there. A couple of minutes under the hood, a discovery that a spark plug wire had come loose (explains the way the car was acting beautifully), a quick tweak to fix the problem, a plugin of his hand-held diagnostic computer to clear the fault and ensure no other issues, and she was on her way! AAA's tow truck was cancelled and a couple of hours later my mother was home and safe in Ocala. (She will have the car looked at again at her local mechanics's place, and most likely have the ignition harness replaced... they are more than a decade old with more than 100k miles under their belt, so it isn't surprising). As my mother said in her email to me afterwards, "Those three women (at Raceway) were terrific, and I will love RaceTrac forever."

I was stranded in Lake Placid with a flat tire that had picked up a screw on my way across from…read moreVenice. I called AAA, which sent Rodney's Marathon truck. The guy was there in 15 minutes; he pulled the tire and put on the "bubble spare" and then was good enough to ask where I was headed. He informed me that the bubble was ONLY good for 50 miles and only AT 50 mph! He led me back to Rodney's Marathon, got the guys manning the garage to come deal with my real tire. Not only did they have it patched and me on the road in 15 minutes, but they led me into the restaurant part of the station so I'd be in AC--without swarming lovebugs!--while they did so. I was impressed with their staff and their service. All it cost me was $15 and tax for the tire repair. Hard to argue with that! Thanks, guys!

But wait, this is a gas station review! Read on. Walmart is in bed with Murphy's. You can see them in front of hundreds of Walmart's. How do you take advantage of this? Double-Dip #1- Assuming you patronize Walmart, buy yourself a membership. It will cost you less than $100 and comes with tons of perks including gas discounts at Murphy's. How do you get the $? You tell the gas pump you are Walmart member by scanning a QRC code or punching in a code available on the Walmart app. See my picture. Double-Dip 2- Walmart is also in bed with Capital One. Get yourself a Walmart credit card. It has no fee. Pay for your gas with this card. So how much can you get Steven B? Depending on the deals going on I get at least 10 cents a gallon and sometimes up to 15! This can really add up over a year to some serous $$! Note, I believe the amounts might vary by state. The gas station itself is top notch. Up-to-date pumps and often the best price intown. The convenience store is spotless. I'm changing my rating from 4 to 5 stars!
