Good To Go

I like this place for three reasons. 1) It’s conveniently located, right off the interstate exit. 2) Clean restrooms. 3) I like saying, «Virk’s» with a bad Swedish accent repeatedly. If you’re traveling around Lake Michigan, the gasoline prices generally get higher towards and into the Chicago area, and this BP has a White Castle attached to it, so it’s a good pit stop for a break in a day long car trip. I’ve always found the workers here to be polite and efficient.

Filthy bathrooms, sneezing cashier, staff both speaking foreign language. Won’t be back.

I got a tank full of bad gasoline at this station. I filled up and a few miles down the road, the check engine light came on. My car requires 91 octane and I used the 93 octane premium from this station.
I took the car to my mechanic and the engine codes were for improper fuel mixture/​temperature in both cylinder banks (or something like that). He hypothesizes that the fuel had too much ethanol or not enough octane.
Indeed, filling up right away with more gas from a different station has not resulted in any check engine light activity since, so it was clearly isolated to this gas station.

Oddly enough, this is a BP Amoco, but is called «Good to Go.» Go figure. In any case, not only does this fine establishment have consistently cheap gas, they have a treasure trove of other money saving options as well. Consider their cigarettes — on my most recent visit, Camel Lights were only 36.95 a carton! Wowza, take that Todd Stroger!
In addition, clean bathrooms with the best hand dryer I’ve ever encountered in my travels, a Tilamook jerky bar and other regional treats, and a friendly staff that remains consistent from year to year.
Bonus points for being attached to a White Castle, I can pick up a couple of Crave Cases for my pals in Glen Arbor on my way up. Love this place.
