Arco

Good prices but charge $ 0.10 cents for bags! Not the cleanest station, but safe next to LAPD.
I only go to gas stations which are well light and are safe. This one is good. I wish they had better service and were a little cleaner. Machines are old. Overall OK.

Best gas station in town! The customer service is always friendly, prices are great and I am in and out in no time! Gotta say, the hot dogs beat dodger dogs any day! See you there!

Not a good gas station. You have a huge line and it is hard to get in and out without blocking traffic or almost get hit by traffic. Customer service is bad too. Needed help at the the terminal to select my gas pump because it did not work. Nobody even tried to help me. Very bad experience.

Fuck this place!!! I paid cash and got no gas out of the pump. I called county weights and measurments on these fuckers. They basically stole from me.

usually good prices, fairly easy in and out service, and pay near pump. Only accepts cash, and debit.

Worst gas station so small. Long waiting times. Staff is friendly and it’s always clean.

Great gas station! Really large space and convenient to get near gas pumps! It is also in a safe area, being next to the police department.
The AMPM is full of a big selection of snacks and goodies! The staff/​owner are really helpful and polite!
My first gas station in mind when I’m running on empty!
Fill up: D

I always put gas at 3:00am and there’s no one never there at that time, I think is really kool,

One of the cheapest in town, just make sure you go really early or really late, the line usually spills into the street.

This drunk ass high looking chick (half black) with a black lip piercing is dumb as shit. I gave her a ten for something that was 3 bucks and she gave me a dollar back saying I gave her a five. When all I had on me was a fucking ten. I told her I gave her a ten but she said there was nothing she could do because she typed in the computer I have her a five. Fuck you guys. Fuck her.

Cheapest gas in all of Pas!!!
I’m a regular here, just never checked in before the other day… This is the CHEAPEST GAS in ALL of PASADENA!!!
Pros: cheap gas… usually 20cents p/​gal cheaper than any other place from Old Town to CalTech.
Cons: It is VERY HIGH volume. There are 2 entrances and 1 exit. If someone decides to go in through the exit because they don’t realize the long lines on the other side are where you are supposed to enter, it slows things down and pisses everyone off!!! THERE IS ALWAYS A LINE!!! I heard that back in the seventies there were long line for gas… I think this place is as close as you can come to reliving those days. It is absolutely common for the line to be 2 – 3 cars deep at each pump and there are a couple of times where I’ve been in line on the street.
Finally, there is an AM/​PM here, so if you’re into gas station munchies, yeah, get your munch on! (BUT PLEASE DON’T HOLD UP THE LINE!!!)

WORST gas station I’ve ever been to! Only came here because 76 didn’t have regular gas for some reason and this was the closest option. The layout is ridiculous and unnecessary. Why in the world would they make it one way? I noticed the «do not enter» sign immediately and proceeded to wait in line like everybody else. Waiting for a pump on the left hand side (my tank is on the left), both pumps on the right opened up. I pulled over to the right and turned my car around so my tank is facing the pump. As I walked in to the store, I was greeted with, «No you can’t get any gas.» I explained that I was waiting in line like everyone else and turned around so my tank is facing the pump. The cashier, Yahk-​something, asserted that I entered through the exit and cut everyone. So I guess I’m a liar whose time is too precious to wait in line. Tried to reason with him, and was ignored. Great customer service! It’s not like I was going to be blocking anyone from exiting. As soon as I was done I could have easily backed out and exited. All I needed was some damn gas! And I couldn’t get it because my tank was facing the pump?! How else do you get gas? Take it from me, save yourself a headache and go to the Shell down the street. This is what you get when you try to get cheap poor quality gas. And to the idiot cashier, I hope you inhale those fumes deeply everyday.

Well, it is super crowded to the point where I actually saw people yelling at each other. Plan your ESCAPE route, because people will block you in. You also cannot pay with credit cards inside. Not sure about at the odd ATM machine at the middle of the tanks.

This is definitely the cheapest gas in Pasadena and I would highly recommend it on that front alone.
However, it is supposed to be ‘enter only’ on the Los Robles side and ‘exit only’ on the Walnut side. More than half of the time I go there, a person has entered the wrong way and causes a huge traffic jam/​problem because they are going the wrong direction. This means that everyone has to back up so that this person, that obviously doesn’t understand what all the big directional arrows on the concrete mean, can exit through the ‘enter only’ area.
It frustrates me every time. I suggest going during off hours so that you don’t have to put up with the directionally challenged drivers.

Seriously the cheapest gas you’ll find in Pasadena!
I highly advice you to go in the early morning or late at night. Cause in between has A LOT of traffic and LONG lines to pump the petro.

They charge for 10 cents for a bag. Bad business. I am not a fan of places that charge extra for a bag for items I just purchased. I am told this is normal in California; but none the less I don’t care, I expect a free bag when I make a purchase of several items. I did not return to this place while I was in California and I will avoid it in the future as well.
If we do not except sub par treatment from stores we will force them to change their ways!

the cheapest gas in Pasadena. Good place to get snacks and sodas too. Place can get a little busy at times and you may have to wait but the savings make it worth it. The gas hoses are long so you can get a lane farthest from your gas tank and it should be no problem that the nozzle reaches gas tank entry

Cheap gas and I got lucky there was no line when I checked in!
I guess I timed it perfectly! I dare never to come here during peak hours when people go here before or after work.

Cheapest gas price in Pasadena. At least a good 6 – 9 cents cheaper. BUT, there’s always a huuuuge line for it. I’ve been lucky to avoid it for the past 2 visits.
The last time I was there, the girl in front of me splashed gas all over herself somehow.

Yeah, its «cheap» gas, depending on how much you value your time. I usually fly past for 2 reasons:
1. Its packed with idiots who are willing to wait in the heat at a smelly toxic hell-​hole gas station all day to save 85 cents.
2. Its owned by British Petroleum.
Remember them? As in THE BP OIL SPILL. The worst environmental catastrophe in your lifetime (so far at least). The one that totally fucked the entire gulf of Mexico, and the most important and ecologically diverse wetlands in America whilst waving both middle fingers at America and «the small people» whose health and livelihood they utterly destroyed?
Remember them?
Course not.
You forgot ALLLL about that shit when you saw gas was $ 3.77 instead of $ 3.89…WAHOO!
Pardon me for being such a squishy environmentalist and remembering these lil things!
I recently put aside my prejudices out of desperation only the anxiety-​inducing blinking «E» could incite, and got more reasons to keep going:
3.One way? Which genius thought of that?
4.They don’t take credit cards. Seriously. Fucking. Annoying. Imagine sitting in the blistering heat, bumper to gridlocked bumper with all the other stupid people, so you can save 85 cents, only to find out not only that you’re going to run out of gas anyway, you’re going to run out of gas 3 feet from the curb, because you had to sit there idling for 10 minutes before you could even leave!
That’s not what happened to me. Luckily I had a little cash.
After having my bank account hijacked at another cheap gas station with a similar policy, and having to argue with my bank for hours to get my money back, I learned to embrace my prejudices with out apology.
I will not be back.
I don’t give my money to BP
I don’t give my bank card to shifty eyed foreigners.
