Tribal Gas Stations Offer Refuge from Soaring Prices During Iran Conflict
As gas prices skyrocket due to the ongoing Iran war, drivers are finding relief at tribally owned gas stations across the US, which offer much lower prices by exempting state fuel taxes.
In the midst of the ongoing conflict with Iran, gas prices across the United States have been steadily rising, putting a significant strain on consumers' wallets. However, there is a surprising refuge for drivers seeking respite from these high fuel costs: tribally owned gas stations.
Especially in states like California, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, and Washington, where tribes are exempt from state fuel taxes, these gas stations are offering much lower prices than their mainstream counterparts. Junelle Lewis, a resident of the Seattle area, found her answer to the soaring gas prices when an app on her phone pointed her to the Tulalip Reservation.
