SCVJeff; you do realize that if you went to the regional fuel distribution hub that you'd see Chevron tankers filling from the SAME fuel rack as tankers going to Mobil, Jiffy Marts, Joe's Grain and Feed Station, etc. All the fuel in your region comes down the same pipeline to fill the tanks at the regional distribution hubs, and that bottom line is, it's all the same fuel no matter what the advertisers try to say to get you to buy their fuel only.

True that.

Thanks for the heads up Lauren :C

midnightsadie ............... I know the issues of any seasonal town / area; I lived in Estes Park, CO for 8 years; not the point of this thread.

Q only has a few months to make a years living.

As the O P all I wanted to do is let people who know - who were traveling I-10 thru the area, or even at Quartzsite for some unknown reason, that gas is far less expensive going about 10 miles either direction and saving 50 cents a gallon.

That was all I wanted to do and now it is off and running. Start another thread if you want on this subject but drop your dissertations here.

Sandi, please shut this down. Thanks.

Now the downside to the lower gas prices is that it is the result of OPEC's decision to maintain production this has lowered the price of crude oil lower than the cost to produce in the USA and as result USA oil production is being shut down and our dependency on imported oil is rising. The USA's dependency on foreign oil in the 1970's is what caused fuel price to double almost over night when OPEC cut production. Be putting the money your saving aside if OPEC guts our oil production again and shuts off the flow again you will see $6.00 dollar gas.

Costco is $2.27 yesterday at a Portland OR station. It is getting much less expensive. The local Chevron is still $2.79.

I did see that Blyth and other California stations typically run about $0.50 per gallon higher than the Loves in Quartzsite a few years ago. Perhaps they are all 'price matching' each other, and keeping them high until they make enough profits for the year.

Thanks for the warning on the high cost of fuel this year. . .

My friend in Phoenix told me today that Regular Gas there was $1.99. It's $2.19 here in Virginia...

Where, Joe's gas and horse feed? Ask him to prove it. I filled up with Regular at Chevron in PHX this afternoon for $2.29. I've spent the last 3 weeks between Phoenix and Tucson daily and there is nothing close to $1.99 at any brand station anywhere.

Really? What kind of ignorant statement is that? I'm sure his friend calls all of his buddies just to lie about gas prices.

According to www.arizonaGasprices.com there are now 10 stations in the Phoenix area that are at $1.99 per gallon. Your buying Chevron which is usually the most expensive statewide.

And all you are seeing are stations next to the interstate.

How about doing some homework before you accuse someone of lying next time?

Like I said.. BRAND station.

GasBuddy.com shows members reporting 1.99 at several Phoenix stations. Within the past four hours.
