A big howdy to all you cowboys, cowgirls, city slickers, dude ranch dudes and dudettes, desert rats, yuppies, and hippy wannabees. A few days ago I heard in the mass mediums, i.e., radio and TV, that Tucson has the cheapest gas prices in the US at $3.41 a gallon. Well, the mass media got it wrong again. I drove around Tucson and easily found several places where gas was, and still is, $3.39 a gallon. I got gas at $3.379 per gallon at one of those big, membership, discount warehouse places with a name like Costlo.
A quick online search of gas prices in Honolulu within the last 36 hours reveals that the cheapest price per gallon there is $4.23. On the island of Kauai the cheapest gas on the Kuhio Highway is $4.439 per gallon.
If you want to snowboard instead of surf, the cheapest gas on Highway 82, Aspen, Colorado is $4.099. If you get your gas on Main Street, Aspen, the cheapest (is that a word anyone uses in Aspen?) gas is $4.269 per gallon. A few blocks up Main Street you can pay $4.459 for a gallon of regular grade gasoline.
So folks, if you want cheap gas, and you don't need to be near ocean or extreme high country, you know where it is: the southwest desert, where the livin' is cheap and the skies are not cloudy all day. Happy trails.
