Fuel Island Review
Flying J Florida Saint Augustine


This "Fuel Island Review Flying J Florida Saint Augustine" is a review of the fuel island at the Flying J Travel Center in Saint Augustine (St. Augustine), FL, USA. The contents of this review have been sent through the form on our Fuel Island Review page.

The questions answered below were preceded with grading instructions like this: "On a scale of 5 (high) to 1 (low)..." with this grading scale:

  • "5" is excellent;
  • "4" is very good;
  • "3" is average or ok;
  • "2" is unsatisfactory and needs attention;
  • "1" is poor and needs immediate corrective action; and
  • "N/A" means not applicable.

Unless the reviewer so noted in a text block at the bottom of the form, a specific bay is not identified because we figure that what goes at one bay at a facility will generally be true at all of them.

Additional comments::

I was concerned after the merger between Pilot and Flying J that the pumps at the latter wouldn't put points on my card from the former. I put on 148 gallons of fuel. Not only did the pump give me the points but it also gave me 150 extra points for a total of 298 points.

I was very surprised to see this sign posted at the Flying J fuel island in St. Augustine, FL.

I wonder:

  • How many incidents of drivers slipping on "slick spots on fuel islands" has Flying J had?
  • How is a driver supposed to know if there is a slick spot until he has gotten out of his truck?
  • Why doesn't management just make sure the bays are clean?
  • Why was this sign affixed on the passenger side post?
