I'm not quite sure who they feel they're at war with, but I think they must be losing because their gas costs $.05 more per gallon than the Samco just down the block. However, I was perfectly happy to purchase my gas here as I wasn't sure I was going to make it far enough to comparison shop for gas prices. Why, oh why, do I never seem to check the gas gage before heading East out Round Mountain Road? Periodically I have to drive waaaay out there to go pick up things that GDTV stores out there. Inevitably I make it about 7 or 8 miles out of town before my gas light comes on. Once or twice I've chickened out and driven all the way back to get gas and then returned to get the stuff out of storage, but last Wednesday I was feeling brave and decided to keep on going East for another 2 miles after the gas light came on. I was not feeling quite so brave on the drive back, but I do at least have AAA road service coverage in case of emergencies.
This Gas War station was there for me in my time of need (possibly mere feet before my car ran dry). And, hey, now I know that even fully loaded down with equipment and driving 25-30 miles per hour around twisty-turny country roads my car can still make it over 12 miles before it runs out of gas. Good to know. read more
