I figured I would start a new topic for MSL changes.

I noticed that Spacescouts edited many stations on 2009-01-25. Two stations were moved from Tucson to Phoenix so I fixed them.

Also the Fry's at Grant and 1st Ave is due to open any day now, I updated the number of pumps today.

BTW it is not possible to report prices on stations that are closed temporarily using the android mobile app. MSL entry is at http://www.tucsongasprices.com/AddMasterStation.aspx?sm_id=24869

(regular price is posted on their sign, fence around pumps is gone, and people observed filling their tanks) I did update the MSL.

The property is completely fenced in and the gas pumps are turned off. I changed the status of the gas station to Temporarily Closed.

Don't you hate it that GasBuddy has signed a deal with Volero and now all Diamond Shamrock stations (which are owned by Valero) show up as VALERO in big green type. VALERO stations now also stay at the top of the price list even when other stations are posted later at the same price. GB has figured out how to make more money from Big Oil.
aladdin9 All-Star Author Tucson Posts:632 Points:1,811,835 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Jul 1, 2012 12:10:33 AM Ignore aladdin9 Report Abuse The underground storage tank permits (tif file 4) for the new 5502 E Speedway Blvd show three tanks: 20,000 gallons unleaded 12,000 gallons premium 12,000 gallons diesel I've updated the station features adding diesel. The original permit is scheduled to expire 180 days from 2012-01-27 so I suspect a Aug/Sep/Oct opening date.

I've added it to the MSL as temporarily closed.

aladdin9 All-Star Author Tucson Posts:632 Points:1,811,835 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Jun 15, 2012 7:14:37 PM Ignore aladdin9 Report Abuse Circle K at 2 N Freeway (I-10 westbound and W Congress St) is closed for gas sales from 6-14-2012 til 6-24-2012 (estimated). Since the signs are not managed by the local store employees, the prices remain even though no gas can be sold.

I am watching a new station in construction at 1st Avenue and Glenn - imagine it's going to be a QuikTrip (no clues on the signs yet), but will add it when it opens and I have accurate information.
aladdin9 All-Star Author Tucson Posts:632 Points:1,811,835 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Feb 12, 2012 8:26:37 PM Ignore aladdin9 Report Abuse I found a Circle K at 12th Ave and Drexel that was not on the MSL and added it, and the former Chevron at Tanque Verde near Pima is now re-branded "Car Wash" and is selling gas again.

If you look at the Phoenix website, they have Luke AFB as a separate area and 1 AAFES station in that "area." You could have the moderators add Davis-Monthan AFB to the area drop-down list. Just an idea in the spirit on consistency.

The property is surrounded by a fence and all the windows, doors and pumps are covered with plywood. All the Chevron signs and logos have been removed. I am not surprised since Frys and Union Gas have always had lower prices. I updated the MSL to show as Temporarily Closed. I Noticed that unstablegurl1 posted fuel prices yesterday for the Chevron Station even though it has been closed 2 weeks! TucsonGas1 used to make up gas prices too, then one day he completely disappeared from TucsonGasPrices.com. I guess management caught him red handed. unstablegurl1 beware!

This station's address is really: 10335 E DREXEL RD TUCSON AZ 85747-9405 Please correct this ASAP. You can check this for accuracy at the following location: "/gis/maps/detail.cfm?parcel=141019170" The address as you have it would put the station between the I-10/Houghton Rd interchange on the south, and Old Vail Connection Rd on the north.

I had to go back in, find the feature and remove the check mark. It's an annoying problem and occurred in 25% of the changes. Hope this helps.

He said that they will no longer sell gas, because it is not profitable. They will continue to repair cars, rent Penski trucks, and maybe keep the convenience store open. I think we should keep the TVA status as temporary, too. Who knows, maybe another gas supplier might give him a better price and they could start selling gas again.

Either they are replacing the sign with a digital one, or decided to stop selling gas. Since the station still stands with the tanks installed, I believe we should leave it as temporary closed.

The gas prices are missing and the pump handles are bagged. The convenience store still has inventory inside.

It has its own Mayor, City Council, Police, Fire, and Public Works departments, Courts, and other small city stuff. South Tucson is a one square mile community within metropolitan Tucson. The city boundaries are: 25th Street on the north, 12th Avenue on the west and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the east, and 40th Street and Benson Highway on the south. I guess GasBuddy thought that South Tucson should have its own listing, since it is a separate city from Tucson. For the few times that I have checked for prices in South Tucson, I have never seen a price listed for the lone Circle K gas station, located at S 6th Avenue and W 30th Street.
