US drivers head to Native American lands for cheaper gas

As fuel prices rise, some of the cheapest gas in the US can be found on Native American land throughout the country.

States like California, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, and Washington, have dozens of tribally-owned petrol stations, including some in busy travel corridors.

These territories are exempt from state fuel taxes and can sell gas for much less than competing stations nearby.
