Breaking Down in Gerlach
Every year coming off the Playa, I see the same thing over and over. People who are stranded in Gerlach waiting for auto repairs. I see it every year. People waiting for water pumps, radiators, fuel pumps, coils, tires, transmissions, the list goes on.

Cedarville Gas is Open
Cedarville gas is open and run by nice people, according to a trusted source. You can take down the "Closed by Wally" sign and put up "Thank You Wally!" sign.

Don't Fuel up in Gerlach
The Jack Rabbit Speaks (Volume 16, Issue #28) is advising people to fuel their vehicles in Nixon and Fernley and not fill up in Gerlach in 2012. The issue is highway safety. Once again, the JRS forgets that a significant population of Burning Man does not go through Nixon.

Gasoline Prices
Gasoline prices are typically 10 cents higher in Eastern Oregon than along I-5. Currently, Oregon has on average the cheapest price for gas, compared to Washington or California. Prices in Alturas will be about 17 cents higher.
