In a recent survey conducted by Gunther Mitsubishi, 3,000 regular highway users were asked to rank which routes in each state that they feared the most. California's Death Valley Road (Highway 190) ranked second on the list.

Whether you travel California highways for business or pleasure — are you traveling on one of the nation’s most feared highways? In a recent survey conducted by Gunther Mitsubishi, 3,000 regular highway users were asked to rank which routes in each state that they feared the most. California’s Death Valley Road (Highway 190) ranked second on the list. ABOUT CALIFORNIA’S DEATH VALLEY ROAD Death Valley Road is in Death Valley National Park. This road can experience extreme high temperatures during the summer. The remoteness of the highway makes breakdowns potentially hazardous, according to the Gunther Mitsubishi website. If you’re planning a summer trip through California and have Death Valley Road listed as one of the highways you will use, you can plan your visit ahead of time using the National Park Service’s website. The website provides alerts and conditions regarding Death Valley Road. The most current Death Valley road status map from July 12 shows what roads are opened (green) and closed (red). The yellow shows which dirt roads have areas of moderate to severe damage due to summer floods and winter storms, according to the National Park Service website.

Not sure how much gas is now but when I was there this past Spring, it was much higher than average. And they can afford to charge more as they are the only game in town:
