Thornton Oil Corporation

It’s usually one of the best gas prices in the area. The downside is that it’s packed a lot of the time.

DO NOT COME HERE if you’re on empty. I made the mistake of doing that on the way home last night!
On my way home from Chicago with two tired kids… Yes I know I’m a bad mom for driving on empty with two kids in the backseat– let’s save that for another discussion.
Back to the review at hand– I stopped at the pump and used my cc. Started pumping and the pumped stopped at $ 15.81. The girl pumping next to me said her pump had stopped too. My screen said «fueling» and hers said «pre paid.» I asked her how much she pre-​paid and she told me $ 15. Ok, honest mistake, maybe they messed up and put the prepaid on my pump. Girl goes in to complain and they reset both pumps. I start the whole process again with the cc and fueling… $ 1.08 and my pump has stopped again. I hear «sorry pump 9 (that’s me) you have to start again so I can reset your pump.»
WTF?!?
Ok come on people. Is it really that hard to work a pump station? How many times do I have to swipe my card put in my zip pick my fuel grade and begin pumping before I can get a full tank and be on my merry way!!!
I didn’t bother finding out how many times. I get gas faster after eating Mexican food than fumbling around with your faulty pumps.
Moving on Thornton’s!

This gas station is not to be missed. Approximately 90% of the time, it is the cheapest gas price in the Aurora Area. Lots of selections to choose from coffee, soft drinks, tea, chips and snack food or junk food.
