This is the hidden secret of East Sacramento when it comes to cheap gas. Sure, it’s not the most attractive corner store — the pumps are older, the crowd from the neighboring laundromat can be interesting, the counter clerks grim — but the price per gallon is consistently lower than just about anywhere else, making it my fill up spot of choice. According to some friends, I should apparently be more worried about the quality of gasoline as opposed to the price. But I’m not driving a Maserati here. Gas by definition has to meet some basic standards to make it to the pump and I’m fine with saving $ 5 on a fill up and skipping the Techron.

This is the closest gas station to me in East Sac. Initially I was frustrated with the lack of options, but I’ve found that this spot has gas reliably cheaper than the AM/PM on 28th and J. They have a decent selection of convenience store items, but I discovered a delicious gelato bar that I’m now in love with. They are polite, but only take debit/cash.

This is my neighborhood liqour/gas store. Their gas prices are usually 3 – 6 cents less than the Arco on J/29th which means it’s cheap gas! Their beer, wine and alcohol selection is very good. You’re gonna pay a little bit more for good beers and smokes but we’ll call it a convenience fee. Jesse, who works the night shift is a great guy! It’s also nice to have this place right next to Sudz Yer Dudz & Coffee Works so I can grab a snack or a beer while waiting for laundry. Did I mention that you can buy single 22oz. beers!!! Cool place to gas up, snack up, beer up and get on your way!
