Summer road trips are all about fun and adventure, but with all that exploring, drivers and their passengers need to refuel, which is why Pilot and Flying J locations are offering the convenient, customizable Fuel Kit. This snack box deal is simple yet offers up hundreds of possible combinations for just $8. Snackers can replenish with their choice of one small bag of Frito-Lay brand chips, one standard-size candy, one fountain drink of any size and three crispy chicken tenders.
A recent Pilot survey found that almost 60% of summer travelers crave a mix of sweet and salty snacks while also aiming to maximize their travel budget, and the Fuel Kit delivers both value and variety.
The mix-and-match Fuel Kit can be found at over 340 participating Pilot and Flying J locations until September 2nd, 2025.
