Mogas cheaper than you can buy it in town. Lowest price around on AVGAS. Gary, the airport manager, is a great guy. They were closed when I stopped there to refuel last Thanksgiving while on my way to Tucson. Gary came out and fueled me anyway. He groused at me the whole time, then as I was leaving said with a smile that I had actually got him out of doing the dishes. I've been stopping in there for the last 18 years. They always give you a county car and send you to town for a meal if you want. It's a must stop fuel and meal stop if you're headed across Arizona. Jeff Scott
