Cody Eggleston winces as the beating sun bakes the empty forecourt of the gas station he manages in Needles, the small town on historic Route 66 hugging the banks of the winding Colorado River. With turbo-charged pump prices reaching the stratosphere, the slim 28-year-old may be the loneliest gas station boss in all of California as fed-up drivers flee to cheaper pump prices.    Cody said savvy fuel shoppers – severely rattled by inflated prices in the Golden State – are flocking just one mile across the nearby K Street Bridge into adjacent Arizona where gas is far more wallet-friendly.
