Where does Arizona get its gasoline?
The state gets its fuel from two pipelines, one originating in Southern California, which moves through Yuma and terminates in Phoenix. A second pipeline begins in El Paso, moves through Tucson and also ends in Phoenix. Some additional fuel is trucked into the state from New Mexico, Nevada and California. It takes a gallon of gasoline seven days to reach the state through the Southern California pipeline, and six days to get here through the pipeline from Texas. While there is talk of building a refinery in southwestern Arizona, the status of the facility remains unclear at this time.
