Is there a way to drive a GX from Southern CA to Phoenix? by scottsfoca

I know that there are fueling stations in the Palm Springs area. It is 247 miles from Indio to Phoenix. Does anyone know of a way to make it without possibly having to push the car the last few miles?
 
From the listing of stations, my drive from San Francisco to Palm Springs shouldn't be a problem, if I stay away from the coast. Does anyone have any suggestions for this leg of the trip? Thanks, Scott

Very wise to stay away from the coast. If the station in san luis obispo goes down, you will prob. be stuck. I am speaking from bitter experience ! Good station's in fresno and bakersfield. Make sure you have the correct cards. Get a AAA or other roadside card with extended towing coverage just in case. Some tow co. charge up to $10/mile !

I was thinking of going to Phoenix also, there is a station in Blythe, but only open during the week.
Here's a link to the info.

Huge thanks!! - you can e-mail me at gregspittlehotmail.com if you prefer.

I sent the info to you.
Right now there are 4 GXs on E-Bay.
Where in OC?
Does anyone know if the Anaheim (SoCalGas) Station has opened back up?
I went by there a few weeks ago and it was out of service.
Thanks

"Have a 100 mile commute from OC to Santa Monica."
 
Woah, that is pretty far for a CNG car. You would be filling up every day. Plus, if you hit traffic you might run out of natural gas in the car.

I commute 140 miles, and hit lots of traffic jams, and haven't even come close to running out of gas. There are quite a few stations right off the 405, I would not worry a bit.
Yes you will have to fill up daily, but with all the time and money you will save, you will enjoy paying about 5-6$ each fillup. It usually costs me about 7.50 each round trip.

there are several stations along the way including the Stewart street station (freeway close) in Santa Monica. I don't think you would have a problem. Stewart street has converted (CleanEnergy) you now get a full fill. You used to get 3/4 fill. Was $2.44 yesterday.

Anyone know if the Anaheim station is open yet or will open soon?
 
BTW my (regular) fillups are now costing 5-6$ at the Hemet RTA Station $1.654
