CHEAPEST PLACE TO FIND GAS IN YOUR TOWN!!!!
« on: Sep 08, 2005, 10:05:41 PM »
So there's been so much talk about gas prices I figured it'd be pretty cool if we could post up the cheaper/cheapest places to get gas in our towns.  This rings especially true for me since just last night on the news I saw that Redding was ranked highest priced gas in California, lucky me I live here!!!  This can also help those traveling through the area too, you'll get a better idea of where the "cheap" gas is.

Anyway, here's what I've seen in the last 2 days; saw $3.08 @ ampm on churn creek, but @ ampm at Bechelli/Hartnell intersection it's $3 even.  If you live closer to Shasta Lake City it's also $3 even at circle K, and that's 76 gas too!!
RIP KYOTA

Believe it or not Chevron and Arco and 76 are all tied here in Livermore at $3.05.  I found it in Sac today at Arco for $2.92 and in San Jose at Shell for $2.91 :yikes:

I used to talk smack about ampm gas, then years ago when gas prices started goin up I started using it.  I've been into engines I ran it in for while and all was fine, and whenever I get into my current one I'll see what it looks like, but so far so good.  No biggie, if it leaves deposits that just raises my compression anyway :thumbs:

did anyone realize the gas prices started going up right away and the gas they were selling was still the stuff the had already bought at a cheaper price to begin with? It's a buncha :bull crap:

I saw diesel at one station had come down 10 cents from yesterday, it was at $2.79. I just put $10 of regular in my Pathfinder for about that same price.

If you can find a 7-11 that's using Citgo gas, then that's some of the best gasoline on the planet, as I've heard, Citgo is a company that has sponsored Nascar teams and aids in F1 R&D and some F1 cars use Citgo fuels. Not to say that it's race fuel at the pump, but I'm trying to say that they've got good quality gas that you wouldn't expect to come from a quicky-mart.



And just to clarify, no, I've never ever used Citgo gas in my life :ha_ha:

:rofl: I used it and it was :puke: too watered down.  My car wasn't running right when I used 7-11 on a regular basis.  when I stopped using it it ran fine :headscratch:

No no no, you posted in the wrong thread man?!  There are other "how much do you pay" threads, this is a "what station in your town has cheap gas" thread.  So where's gas $2.69 in your town....which is???
