FUEL STATEMENT FROM PILOT SEPT. 11
September 11, 2008

Statement by: Alan Wright, Vice President, Supply and Distribution, Pilot Travel Centers LLC

Pilot Corporation is taking steps in the short term to keep as much gasoline available to the Knoxville public as possible in the wake of supply impacts from Hurricane Gustav and the threat of Hurricane Ike.

Pilot has multiple locations in other states and 300 trucks available to shift fuel supplies around to various locations in order to minimize local impacts - again in the near term.

While there is still time to redeploy trucks and move fuel supplies, Pilot will continue to monitor the changing fuel supply situation in the Gulf Coast, including possible impacts from Hurricane Ike. Refineries in that region remain down due to lingering power outages caused by Hurricane Gustav.

For now, Pilot asks that their customers continue to fuel their vehicles as they normally would.
