There is only one gas station in the Mojave Dessert for over a 100 miles. They even have signs on the pumps there warning paople of the price so they don't just fill up and spend a $100 on gas without knowing it. I got 10 gallons there for about $45.00 last year. Soda was $2 too. LOL. What are you going to do? Running out of gas in the wilderness of Big Sur or the Mojave Dessert really isn't an option.
