Fuel Prices in Death Valley

[goodellj]

I fell victim to this exact station about 10 years ago. I was a naïve newbie pulling my 5th wheel with about 1/2 tank of fuel. I thought I would just get a fill up when we got close to the park entrance. We entered on the east side and there was nothing but open desert for 20 miles on that side prior to entering, and then about 40 miles to get down to the park village where the gas station is. After camping and site-seeing for a couple of days I figured out what I would need for fuel to get out to a decent fuel stop, and I think I had to buy about 15 gallons. Needless to say it was an expensive lesson!
