Left the valley a week ago and prices at local stations close to my home there were 4.59.9 for 87 octane. Really wouldn't complain. Think California would call that a bargain.
Curious your route north. SR87 all the way to Tuba City? Maverick in Winslow was 438.9 for 87 octane yesterday. That's without either of their club discounts. When gas was under $2.00 a gallon two cents and six cents meant something. 2% or 6% would be a better deal. You know they base their profit on % of the sale price per gallon and not a certain dollar amount per gallon.
I was going to go up Lake Mary road to Flagstaff and then take 89 to Cameron then 160 to Kayenta and 163 to Monument Valley.
Unfortunately, man plans and God laughs . . .
Due to the fire I drove 77 all the way till it ended and then 191 North to Bluff, Utah, and camped the first night just west of Bluff on BLM land.

When I was getting gas at Maverick I was talking to a guy who was gassing up. He said 87 from Winslow to Tuba City was a fairly nice road. I did some driving back in the seventies and remember some of the roads on the Navajo Reservation were pretty poor. The one going to Navajo Mountain being the worse. The truck I was driving and rollup doors on the side. Washboard was so bad the side doors would roll up on their own. Going to Leupp from Winona and back down to I-40 to Twin Arrow exit was good. Anywhere else out of Leupp turned to red clay you didn't want to drive on in the rain. Guess forty five years a few things changed.
