Phoenix, Arizona Pipeline Crisis
August 18th, 2003

Danny's Texaco Paradise Village Parkway & Tatum Boulevard, Phoenix, Arizona
At 5:00 AM Monday morning, your Mr. Wonderful set out on his search for gasoline. My first stop was the Danny's Mexico station .9 miles from the house. No luck.

Safeway Station Greenway & Tatum Boulevard
My second stop was the new Safeway gas station. I was drawn in by the very low prices on the marquee.

The Newest Station on the block: Safeway
Turns out the first time I try 'Safeway' gas, the place is totally closed down and shuttered.

Mobil Station Greenway & Tatum Boulevard
This is the station where I was approached while taking photos and asked by an astute gas station employee what I was doing.

At 5:10 AM, saw a bunch of large kids on their bicycles in the front of the store.

Circle K / 76 Union:
Union Hills and Tatum Boulevard
Finally, success, a gasoline station with gas. I filled up the mighty Hyundai for $15.80 at $1.849 per gallon.

Second photo of happy people filling up. This is where I asked the freaky employee leaning on the propane tanks taking a smoke break, why they had gas. He said a tanker had filled them up at 11:30PM the evening before and that they would be out by 7:00AM "...at the latest."
