Summary
$3.85 regular gas and $4.49 diesel marked Buc-ee's Arizona opening day, undercutting Arizona's $4.20 average for regular and the U.S. average of $3.95, according to AAA.
120 fueling stations drew attention for low prices, but few customers were actively filling up as many vehicles sat at pumps while owners shopped, took photos or explored the store.
That left some of the busiest parts of the property underused for fueling and created frustration for drivers trying to buy gas and quickly get back on the road.
Buc-ee's posted a full opening-day fuel menu of $4.20 for plus, $4.50 for super and $4.49 for diesel, making price a central draw even as traffic flow became an early issue.
