Well as we all know, gas has unfortunately become very high.

BUT, there are some places that offer reasonable prices for good gas..



So why don't we help one another out and name some places where they have exceptional offers?



I usually go to the Arco on Lambert and Harbor by the Home Depot. I think they have all right prices.

0h by the way, anyone know any legit gas stations in Irvine? I recently started working here and am not as familiar with this area as I am with my own. So yeh

Wow. Tight website. Thanks, solves the problem

DeX

Ya, I have a computer in my car that's set up to pull from that site. All I have to do is hit GAS and it displays a list of the cheapest gas in proximity to me based on GPS location.

xmyzteriousx

Wow. I want that.

What computer system thing do you have? Is it navigation ?

DeX

Ya, there's some detailed threads of my car on this forum. I also did a Carputer D.I.Y. here.

0h allright I see it in your signature. That's really legit!!

arco seems to have raelly cheap gas in my area. i only buy from this one specific shell location because its close to home, roomy, and the entrance/exit points arent too steep.

Gas stations in Irvine are, generally, a hell of a lot more expensive than elsewhere. I usually get gas in Fountain Valley where its usually 5 to 10 cents cheaper at shell or chevron (I dont like arco gas).

i feel ya man, i also live in irvine and i usually fill up in westminister/fountain valley... btw i think arco gas is shitty, feels watered down and burns real fast

lol. i got back from a cross country road trip about a month ago...it didn't matter where i got the gas from, since i'd most likely be using all of it that day, so i just looked for whatever was cheapest when i needed it! lol.

Well said!

I broke down (mentally) and decided it would be easier to use arco just once since I was there and forgot to turn off at shell. I had the credit card out and ready to go. Stuck it in the card reader and the stupid **** ****ed machine decided I needed a 50 some odd cent debit charge. That did it. Stormed off and went to the shell and got gas for 3 cents cheaper. **** Arco.

Yeh that's true I was actually looking at that website that Dex put up and Irvine is pretty expensive. It sucks though because I work at a company on like the border of Irvine and Newport so it's just an expensive area overall.

xmyzteriousx

L0L wow so what's wrong with Arco guys?! I think it's all right..

Some say that it's "Watered down" and your gas is gone quicker.
Some say that it ruins your car.

I dunno. Whenever I use arco it seems (to me) to make my car run worse.

Mysterious, you should change your font color to something more readable. That gray is making my eyes go crazy.

Arco is cheap because it doesn't have any sort of additive package, unlike your Shell's and Chevron's supposedly do. Which if all of that is true, I assume it is, then low detergent gas will cause more carbon build up in less miles than "good" gas. I just fill up wherever is close for me, but I do try to avoid Arco. Five cents is like a 50 cent difference in a fill up, personally I don't give a **** about 50 cents.

i remember the good ol' days where i could fill up my civic for 24$... now im paying $40+ for my vic, ridiculous

xmyzteriousx

Hmm I don't know. I guess I'll pay more attention then. I just thought that my car was drinking it up fast.

Plus, when you go over the speed of 3, as so I've heard, your gas goes faster. I don't know if that's true or not..

xmyzteriousx

L0L wow. Well I'm honored to make your eyes go crazy.
Hahaha jp. The gray just matched my picture and I couldn't use silver, though that's my favorite color, so I picked gray since it's closer. Lol yeh I know.. =D

Yeh one guy had a problem with my font as well, except he was sort of in uh shock? because I actually change my font color. Now, when that option is available, why not use it? Well anyway lol

0h so recently I've been usuing Chevron//Shell to fill up. Well this Saturday night I bought $45 worth of gas @ a Shell gas station by the Cerritos Mall. After I filled up, I drove a couple more miles down South St then drove home down 0rangethorpe to..wherever I live. Then the next day, yesterday, I drove out to the Puente Hills Mall, went to eat @ the Alcapulco right by it, drove a friend home to Claremont, and then went home. I made little trips near my house to stores and banks but they were within 5 miles of my house.

My gas went down 1/4 and I was a little surprised because my gas has NEVER gone down that much so fast. It felt like it was just disappearing. I expected it to be more 1/6 down. I thought Shell was good ?

i've never had any problems with arco gas. and i have poured that stuff in my car since i got my license and first car(sis hand me down 91 miata)(10 yrs ago). shoot, i remember those days when gas was around $1.20/gallon for regular. those were the good ole' days. i loved that car because of the gas mileage(that thing sipped gas). i was sad when i sold that car......

xmyzteriousx

^^Yeh I was using arco but eveyrone said it was watered down gas. So I started using Chevron and Shell and... I don't know..

iTrader: (8)

i dont care wut anyone says about arco, i haven't had any problems with arco gas for 10+ years.

xmyzteriousx

Wow. Well I don't know. I'm confused on what's good..But I have felt a difference after using Chevron. Feels goood. =]

johnbt23

iTrader: (8)

i've used chevron a couple times. i never saw or felt a difference between that and arco. i've also used shell a couple times too, and like wut u said, it seemed like my gas gauge would go down faster using shell gas.

xmyzteriousx

0hh hmm then I am right. Chevron feels good though. I like it. Screw Shell. =]

iTrader: (14)

Mmm, whats it feel like?


Shoot, I remember when it was 99 cents, and 5 bucks filled up half your tank- not 5 bucks giving you only one gallon.

johnbt23

iTrader: (8)
