You mean Blythe, CA right? Ehrenburg is located across the river from Blythe. I grew up in Blythe. I’m sure the same situation in Needles too. It was last summer. Needles was like a ghost town. Local Denny’s had just closed down. Sad.

I’ll be filling up in Fort Worth, TX for about $2.10.

I was going to mention the difference in AZ/Cal gas prices, you beat me to it. I was gobsmacked when I drove to Needles from Yuma 5 years ago. The closed Tesoro station with the reedonkyoulous prices was an eye opener.

Gas is still cheaper in Cali than in my neck of the woods, but that’s thanks to the Cdn and BC gov’ts stultifying tax rates, plus the expense of shipping the crude south and the finished product back north. The exchange rate is a bit of a factor, too.

And their gas is that 91 octane crap,

I make my own 117 octane race gas, paying about $7 a gallon. I can turn 87 $2 a gallon gas out here for 100 octane for about the same price Cali gets its 91 crap.

For about two decades we vacationed and visited relatives in Oregone.The

We will fill up here Californicator Land and barely make it gas wise to Ashland or Brookings, Oregon.

We would fill and drive around Oregon with better mileage on every vehicle we drove.

Then, we would fill up in Oregone on the trip home. The vehicles ran great, got great mileage with somewhere between a 1/4 to 1/3 tank of gas left.

So we paid more in California for gas that didn’t perform as well and had to pump our gas here.
