From HF Sinclair plans pipeline expansion in Utah to supply Nevada gasoline

What could the expanded Pioneer Pipeline mean for Las Vegas's fuel supply?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Expanded pipeline may increase gasoline supply to Las Vegas The expansion of HF Sinclair's Pioneer Pipeline across Utah is designed to increase the supply of refined petroleum to meet Nevada's gasoline demands. If the pipeline operates at its planned capacity, it could carry more than 1 million gallons of refined petroleum a day. As Las Vegas is the largest city and primary consumer market in Nevada, this increased regional supply could lead to greater fuel availability within the state.
