That's an understatement. I was a bit low and pulled in there a few years ago. It was double what I had seen anywhere in the west and their credit card machine wasn't working, cash only.
Fill up in Needles. We've run across there many times. There may be some advantage to leaving early to avoid the wind but that doesn't hold true all the time.
I don't have problems overheating on my gas rig but I make sure to climb mountains at about 3,600 RPM which keeps the coolant and fan moving right along.
They even have a sign in the store warning customers not to complain to the employees about the cost since it's not the employees' fault.
In all fairness, they are doing business in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure they have higher operating costs than your average gas station.
