Vacation - Lake Havasu City, AZ, August 1, 2005
Pilot, 14750 S Hwy 95, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86406
Several days ago I wrote about the gas prices that we encountered on the first part of this trip. However, I wrote that prior observation with the assumption that gas prices in any one area would remain constant throughout the entire trip. Therefore, a gas price in Lusk, Wyoming late in the trip could be directly compared to a gas price in Lake Havasu City, Arizona early in the trip.
As Jim Bakker would say, I was wrong. During a three week period, gas prices at the Montclair Costco increased from $2.399 to $2.639.
Ouch.
For the record, the gas price at the Pilot in Arizona as of August 1 was $2.359. We were happy because this was slightly lower than the prevailing price in southern California at the time. Today we'd be ecstatic.
