Reno - Gas Stations


Gas stations are a dime a dozen. Gas, on the other hand, is damn expensive, and always seems to be higher priced around holidays like Labor Day. In general, truck stops, Arco, and Winner's Corner gas stations tend to have lowest prices, as do Costco and Sam's Club if you're a member. Safeway also offers discounts with a Safeway or Vons card, and sometimes the discount goes up if you also buy groceries with that card. Here is a list of gas stations with lower prices, or of stations perhaps more convenient in terms of nearby shopping for you to get gas before heading off to the playa. Check out the Auto Parts and Repairs page though for anything really beyond gas.

Wait? Bulk Deliveries to the playa?! Yes, they can deliver biodiesel to you on the playa. But -- IMPORTANT: Please call Carlo directly at 775-720-0754 as early as possible to arrange fuel deliveries. Bently will be delivering B99.9 (not blends) for both taxed (on-road) and untaxed (generators, construction equipment) machinery early in the week. They will need an accurate estimate of your fuel needs by July 31st. They will also need to know your exact location on the playa and a contact person. They will not however be providing fuel storage containers for the event. Weather can sometimes make fuel deliveries impossible, so please plan accordingly, and make sure you have enough fuel on hand to get you through a few days.
