Which Gas Station Do You Normally Fill-Up At?

[THUNDER HANDS]

I'm a Hess man, personally. They're usually 5-6 cents cheaper than the others.

You?

[mainegreen]

1. IRVING!!!

They give you free bananas!

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. bananas?

At a gas station?

That's about as absurd as the fried chicken place in Brooklyn that also doubles as a gas station.

[mainegreen]

8. Sure bananas

They're healthy, and I like them!

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

10. MAINWAY!!!!!!

There was a great Zippy the Pinhead cartoon about this last year or so.

[mainegreen]

26. About bananas at Mainway?

Got a link?

[Robb]

2. Other:

I just plug the EBike in at night.

(dances the moral high ground dance) :bounce: ;)

4. Diamond Shamrock (Ultramar, Beacon, Total)

They're a Texas-based company, and I have had one of their credit cards for years. I also have a Chevron card, but I don't fill up there as much because their prices are too high.

[JVS]

5. BP or Amoco

[onehandle]

6. You'll find that regional issues will...

...make this complicated. BP/Amoco's are common here in the Southeast. Shells have been popping up like wildfire since * was selected. I avoid them out of suspicion.

[7th_Sephiroth]

9. BP mostly

but i'll stop and get a few gallons anywhere if its dire

[SOteric]

25. I avoid them out of prudence.

Everytime I put Shell in my car something goes wrong with the inner works. Whether it's a clogged filter or a sudden, temporary thirst for 30-weight.

36. The only stations in North Dakota are BP, Tesoro, Citgo and Cenex.

Then, there's local fringe businesses like SuperPumper and Simonson.

[xJlM]

7. Speedway!

They're not bad, although their premium is kinda lame. I also use BP sometimes, if their price is lower (which it usually is).

[StaggerLee]

20. Speedway here too

I like their set-up and I enjoy their coffee. I find that they are usually priced lower than most others. (In my area anyway)

[RetroLounge]

11. Clark

eom

on edit: The Gas Station, NOT the General...

[JVS]

12. Do they still sell the 100 octane gas?

[qb]

13. Sinclair (Canadian) or Citgo (Venezuelan)

I'm just not crazy about those terrorist-supporting ME oil companies.

(I know both of these companies have to supplement their supplies with ME oil from time to time, but on the whole I think they're the best option)

[rbnyc]

14. NONE!

I was going to say that I've never purchased any gas in my life, but that's not true, I've pitched in for gas money on road trips. But I have never owned a car and I don't even know how to pump gas.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. Sunoco-They Use Non-Saudi Oil

And I ain't supportin' the Saudis!

[LynneSin]

43. YEAH!!! I use Sunoco all the time

But only because it's the closest one to my house. However, I also get Pilot gas over in NJ since it's cheaper and they pump it for you.

[mhr]

16. Murphy Oil

eom

[CO Liberal]

17. Loaf n Jug or Safeway

Because if I use my King Soopers or Safeway club cards, I get a 3-cent discount per gallon.

[Bertha Venation]

21. Yep. Safeway.

[bif]

18. Whatever's the cheapest.

Usually turns out to be Speedway.

[jeter]

19. Lee's Gas Bar

Been going there forever

[HuckleB]

22. Tesoro.

.

[LuCifer]

23. Hess or Speeway

Or any other cheapo stations.

I would like one eon to NOT have to drive. But the FloriDUH DOT can't do crap right. Palm Beach County, 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE...and the bus system BLOWS. Don't even start me (again!) on the roadways.

24. There are no Hess or Gulf stations in the PNW, and Texaco

was bought out by Shell some time ago. There are very, very few Texaco stations which are remaining in operation under the Texaco brand. I suspect in the coming months, they'll be converted to Shell, too.

[TrogL]

27. It's Esso up here

They've got a good points system and the gas is trustworthy.

If it gets really cold, I'll switch to Petrocan 'cause they put methanol in.

[MercutioATC]

28. Sunoco...the only station that carries 94 octane here.

My 911 likes it :)

My Honda gets filled at whichever station's closest when I realize I need gas...

[Robb]

29. Grammar police:

That should be "At which gas station do you normally fill up?", since you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition.

Oh wait. Crap! Look out! Irony police!! :spank:

[ChoralScholar]

30. My wife works at Flying J

so I kinda feel obligated to keep them in business. They sell Conoco fuel by the way.

[Xithras]

31. Costco

n/t

[THUNDER HANDS]

33. Costco sells gas?

I always wondered why Costco didn't sell cars.

But I never knew they sold gas...which Costco do you go to. The one's in New York don't sell gas.

[Xithras]

34. Costcos in California do

They also do tires, tuneups, and a few other auto repairs. I just buy gas though...I filled up yesterday at Costco at $1.54 a gallon, when everywhere else is $1.65 to $1.69 a gallon.

Of course, the fact that I literally live 150 yards from the Costco and its the closest gas station to my home helps to (I never shop inside, and maintain my membership only to get access to their gas pumps :))

[elfwitch]

32. Costco

Much cheaper than any place else.

[SmileyBoy]

35. Tesoro. It's a local CO-OP.

Existing ONLY in North and South Dakota, Eastern Montana and Western Minnesota.

It's my best chance of not supporting big oil.

[maveric]

37. ARCO with the AM/PM stores.

Moderately priced here in SoCal.

[kyrasdad]

38. Stewarts

Upstate NY 7-11 kinda thing

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

40. Yeah, stewart's

that's where my mom always goes.

[Piperay]

39. Chevron...

cause I like those cute little cars they sell with the gas. :)

[IcyPeas]

41. Shell donates to pro-life/anti-abortion groups...

so I never go to a Shell station.

[Don_G]

42. Swifty

Kind of a no-name station in my area. Cheaper than the rest, busy enough to be refilled daily (sometimes twice) and the gas is the same that Marathon, Kroger's and several other chains in the area use (worked a job near the gas terminal once.)
