2.11 - 2.15 most places for unleaded. Almost as bad as last August when the pipline broke.

Drove out to CA earlier and everywhere I saw was in the 2.30 range for unleaded.

Im driving to CA tomorrow.

I remember very well when that pipeline broke, what a pain. I had to run natural gas at times, couldn't find regular fuel.

If you're coming in via the 10...

Last cheapest place I saw gas was that Loves on the north side of the highway in Indio. Once you get through the pass the prices start getting real ugly.

Construction spots at;
The last bridge in AZ before the checkpoints, and just west of the pass around Banning they had the 10 shut down to one lane on the west bound side.

Drive safe :cool:

p.s. To add irony/humor to my trip. I was almost at Buckeye when I realized I'd forgotten my cameras and had to go back for them. :rofl

Do they still have the checkpoint coming back? I mean that military (?) one where everyone has to stop......? that really slows things down.

Quite welcome sir

Didn't see any, but it was dark(ish) when I hit the state line. Only one I can confirm is the agricultural checkpoint going into CA.

A few stations in north central(ish) and the one off I17 and t-bird were 2.11 when I gassed up earlier. Same one was 2.15 yesterday though.

Just paid $2.20/gal.  I asked if they'd just take a kidney, but he said that wouldn't be enough.

Out of interest, how much does diesel cost in the US? In all the European countries I know of, it's about two thirds of the cost of 95 octane unleaded. Except Britain, of course, where the Blair/Labour/socialist thinking is that if we're driving diesels we're getting much better fuel mileage therefore using less and paying less tax. To make up for that, diesel in Britain is priced even higher than unleaded. :mad:
