When I was in Death Valley, I was surprised that the gas inside the park (near the Furnace Creek Visitor Center) was slightly cheaper than some stations just west of the park.

All you gotta do is make it to Bullhead City for cheap gas

Speaking of that , it surprised me that anyone fills up in Laughlin when they can go across the river to Bullhead City and save a lot. I saw an RV filling in Laughlin once: that had to be worth the drive to save.

Right now gas buddy shows a Chevron in Laughlin at 4.29 and Sam's in Bullhead City at 2.77 and Circle K farther south 2.95.

I've used the facilities at that station in Goffs. Passed on fueling there though.

Anyone that travels the Southern California deserts knows not to buy California fuel east of Barstow. Always have enough heading east to go between Barstow and Arizona. All California desert fuel prices are a rip off from Needles, Ca until you get to Barstow.

Used to be a Chevron station at Furnace Creek. Not sure why, but I think it's independent now. By the way, most of the businesses at Furnace Creek aren't legally part of Death Valley National Park and aren't subject to any of the regulations (including price approvals) that the National Park Service typically imposes. Those businesses are "inholdings". When there have been federal shutdowns due to budgets, Xanterra kept on operating those businesses even when other businesses in national parks shut down. Part of it was that it's legally a state highway going through the park. While there's technically an entrance fee, it's not enforced unless someone parks a vehicle (in NPS controlled areas) without the receipt visible. I never saw an entrance station, but paid at a visitor center or at a machine.

I do remember this one gas station in Sausalito that had this weird pricing. The owner had this weird attitude that when people complained it was too expensive, he'd raise it even futher. And some people actually paid. Some were tourists, but a few regulars would still go there. It was so bizarre because there was a much cheaper Shell station less than a mile away.

Prices at a Marin County gas station climbed so high this week — up to nearly $8 a gallon for the regular stuff — that rubberneckers thought it was a joke.​

​

But the prices were real. And on Friday, David Mann, owner of the independent Bridgeway Gas in Sausalito, provided an unusual reason for the surge: He doesn’t like complainers.​

​

“Yesterday, some guy asked me, 'How high are you going to go?’” said Mann, who seven years ago bought the gas station that sits across the street from the Sausalito Yacht Harbor. “I said, 'As high as I need to go to get you to stop complaining.’”​
