On the first day of the third outage (the fourth for the South Street businesses), the only gas station open in the town and outlying areas was the Mobil Station on South Street and Valley Boulevard, featured in the photo above. Evidently the owner of the facility possesses a massive generator. The gas lines moved very slowly and went around the block. A number of Tehachapi residents opted to go to Mojave for gas as an alternative.
