The Politics of Petrol

Local folks don't want a company to build a busy commercial facility outside the city limits where the city won't receive any sales tax from the new business.

Big deal. Seen, heard that at many places across the US.

Anyone ever hear of a company called WalMart?

The only thing related to RV's is that there isn't any RV friendly place to get fuel on I-25/ NM-599/ US-285 in the Santa Fe area.

The local folks don't want any truck stop in the area.

According to Gas Buddy - Prices for regular gasoline are $2.93 to $2.97 in the Santa Fe/ I-25 area, yet along I-40 - prices run $2.72-2.75.

Why did you post this on an RV forum? Who cares except for local residents?

You guessed wrong. No opinion either way.

Madrid is a good place to go drink beer but yeah, full of stinky hippies....
Wired part is, it's not really close to I 25 so not sure why they give a schitt.

Sorry about that it was not Santa Fe I was thinking of I believe.

Hi Ralph. Been out with your camper yet?

Mine is still in the garage but coming out soon, I hope, if I ever get my crops in and hay cut that is.

People never want anything in their backyard but if it's in someone else's backyard, thats ok.

Old news, the PFJ project was rejected by the planning board a couple of weeks ago:

Santa Fe truck stop rejected

Trucks stops are always more expensive than the Chevron, Shell, 76 or what every down the street a block or three!
