    STAY AWAY FROM UNION HILLS & CAVE CREEK STATION! It used to be ok but a few months ago was sold and I have two bad comments re: their gas. My neighbor has a modified 69 Z28. He has to run 101-109 octane (depending on outside temp). He put five gallons of their gas in his car and it would start but barely run. He had to drain it out.

    I took a brand new six gallon plastic gas can to fill up. I filled it exactly to the six gallon mark molded into the plastic. Their pump told me I had put over 7 1/2 gallons in a six gallon can. At the regular pump I probably wouldn't have said anything... but at over $5/gal I was pretty miffed to say the least. I complained to the guys behind the counter but they blew me off. I called the Weights & Measures guys and they checked it a couple of weeks later. They called me and said there was a small leak inside the pump? No way did it leak over a gallon of gas onto the ground inside the pump without being noticed. My guess is that they found some way to mess with the pump.
