Nevada at 27.8¢/gal is a solid fueling value in the West, especially positioned between California (62.5¢) and Utah (31.9¢). Las Vegas is a major distribution hub serving the entire Intermountain West — millions of hotel rooms and casino operations generate enormous inbound food, beverage, and goods freight. Reno has emerged as a major e-commerce distribution center, with Amazon, Walmart, and Tesla's Gigafactory driving substantial freight volume.
