But then I remembered... this station is also 5 miles outside the entrance to Lake Pleasant where a lot of, shall we say, high performance and non emission compliant boats like to run.

Oh, and the price? Yeah, 110 Octane is $10/gallon. But I digress...

Needless to say, I'm thrilled just to have the option!!
Yep, they've sold 110 at the pumps right outside Wildhorse for years at the Loves truck stop, and for years it's been the same price.........$10 a gallon.

I've been told there is another station in Scottsdale just around the corner from Westworld that sells 110 octane. My neighbor drives all the way down there just to fill 5 gallon cans so he can dump it in his car up here in Prescott, where we have no high octane fuel available anywhere. I personally think he's crazy LOL.
