Same here as by Dan - plenty of fuel with no problems.

Perhaps the local supplier/distribution center by you is having problems with their system and/or can't find enough drivers to haul the fuel?

Is this problem at one station/brand or across the board in Arizona?

Better stock up it will come that way a friend in SC says it is there now  in some areas,it will spread when they start diverting to other areas of the US  I-10 and I-40 are the life line for truckers and the food supply

Across the entire planet our demand for oil is currently eclipsing our ready supply - shortages and supply oddities are going to be the norm for the next several months most likely before it corrects.

WI may not be a problem all their oil comes from Canada or did since there are no oil production or reserves in WI,if the few refineries there can produce enough for the demand I forget if the Marathon refinery is in Wi or MN  .Winter is coming fuel will be in short supply for awhile and should have never happen

No more expensive than elsewhere. I'd say that we're still cheaper than some areas.

Yes, my bus is for sale. Nothing to do with fuel prices and nothing specifically to do with the bus itself, more so with a few other issues in my life at the moment.

Not missing Cal yet? Local prices for diesel are crawling to the five buck level, saw several at $4.99. Did not check if it was in stock though. lol


Seriously, high fuel prices generally put a serious damper on fuel-guzzling vehicles like our bus conversions and RVs but also in these insane times used cars sell for more than new prices, and prices being fetched at BAT are just looney these days.

yep, just saw a Prevost for sale on FB. Owner says he intends to fly instead.
Richard may be preparing for a Prevost in future.
Yep, the fuel prices will test the conversion owner resolve. Just like last fuel spike in  maybe 2008?
No problem for diesel in PA. Cliff, election over in AZ so they can resume screwing the public.🤣
