USA Gasoline

I received a follow up call from the manager of this location, I believe it was Jorge. He offered me a very sincere apology and made sure prices and displays are correct. The only thing holding back from 5 stars is the fact I was put through this ordeal and had it not been for me, how many other customers would have continued being over charged. Again thank you Jorge for following up with me.

Should be called Slowest Pumps in USA. All the pumps are broken at least once every two weeks. Getting 10 gallons of gas will take you 10 minutes.

I get gas here at least once a week for the past year. Every single time I go the pumps don’t work. Today, i finally went inside and asked what is going on with the pumps or is there no gas in them. The very rude male told me you have to put the pump all the way in the gas tank? Excuse me, duh! Offered no help. Said all the USA gas pumps are like that. I went 2 blocks up the street to a different USA gasoline and the gas pumped fine. Very rude young male at the desk. Guess I can’t ask for much at a gas station.

One of the shemale that work there is a straight bitch. If i have to come back and fuck his or her up i would. But since my son is there… i wouldnt do it. They need more better customer service!

This USA Gasoline station boasts a big convenient store. However, I am not familiar with customer service since I did not go in. According to Gas Buddy, it is around the average price you’d pay compared to other gas stations in the area. It is not all that busy even though it’s located right off the 805 on one of the busier streets in North Park. The layout is huge so it’s not really hard to get in and out. Overall, I if you don’t mind what quality gas you put in your car and are in the area, then I’d highly suggest coming here at any time of day!

Thieves!!! BEWARE They stole $ 50 with a bogus gas purchase
I tried using my debit card and the pump asked to see teller, so I used my credit card and same thing and I cancel purchase since the reason for using my cards outside was to avoid walking in a busy gas station so I decided to pump somewhere else but I still get a $ 50 charge on my credit card.
I dispute the charge through my bank (if you don’t prepay inside it’s normally 43.52 but never round numbers like $ 50) and I have a same day gas receipt (about 15 minutes later) from a different gas station no way I pumped gas twice in the same day for the same car.
My bank contacts them and they LIE and say all was honky dory gas was dispensed!!!
Crooks be careful!!!

When I thought of reviewing a gas station that I use regularly. I struggled on what to consider as my base for a solid review. Do I base my review on their fuel prices, or their customer service, or their cleanliness?
In the end, it was based on all 3.
This USA Gasoline has competitive prices compared to their competitors 76 and Chevron. Both on University Ave. You will also notice they have more traffic compared to the other two. Probably because of the price. I cannot tell you anything about their restrooms. But I can say, the store inside looks clean. As far as the customer service is concerned. I have only been inside 3 times. All 3 times have been different. One time was very friendly, one time was rude, and one time was neutral.
In all honesty, I fill up my car here because the price of fuel is the least expensive within the area. (Unless I go to Costco) All else needs improvement. This is the reason I give 3 stars for USA Gasoline.

FYI, my rating is based solely on cigarette prices. The store looked clean and the clerk was friendly.
I was shocked when told a pack of Marlboro Light 100 cigs was $ 6.97. Whoa!
The gas station across the street, as well as the nearby Walgreens are both at least $ 1.00 cheaper.
I haven’t checked ⁷⁄₁₁ in ages. But aside from them I believe $ 6.97 may be the highest (or close to the highest) anywhere in North Park or Normal Heights. I know it’s the highest I’ve paid in the 7 years I’ve lived in the area.
Oh, well. It was ‘hopefully’ my last pack. (Quit snickering at me. I see you.)

No public restrooms, don’t bother. The place is clean and the cashier is courteous m… But really… How much do they care?

Just stopped in here for gas and water, this is the closest to my house so I come here often. Usually it’s an okay place, but today was different. I came in with my bf for a jug of water for our road trip. My boyfriend was going to pay with cash so we could get some change for tollroads. The cashier Ibett (? I tried to look at her name tag on the way out?) Said they didn’t have any change, she was a little annoyed you could tell which is fine no biggie… but then I was going to pay with my card since they didn’t have the change we needed. She in the rudest voice was like «ugh, you should have told me that before…» really? I was supposed to magically know you weren’t going to have change. Way to be a bitch over something so silly. I realize without hearing her tone it may seem like I’m over reacting but if you check my review history I usually only come on Unilocal to praise people, never to give one stars unless I feel really offended. She was beyond rude.

Cheapest gas in the area. Clean and staff is nice. They have a good convenience store selection with good prices. Easy in and out if you are getting on 805 N or S.

Air machine doesn’t work, but the location is convinient and its cheaper than most for regular fuel.

Convenient to the freeway, clean, and fast.

Awkward location on a busy intersection. Super cheap cigarettes and service has never been terrible. Cheap gas (If you pay cash) and a convenience when you’re in a pinch financially. Now that there’s a 7 – 11 on the corner, IDK that there’s any other reasons to go there other than the cheap gas.

This is no longer a Thrifty store and is now owned by USA Gasoline since they decided not to renue their contract with Thrifty. Came here today to grab something quick before we jumped onto the freeway when I noticed that they have a new candy up front. It was a candy made by the McIlhenny Co. It is called Tabasco Spicy Chocolate. I am not joking you can go and look at my pictures. I asked the cashier if he has tasted it yet and he said «No, I don’t really eat spicy things». I bought three of them. The taste is very unique. It is made out of dark chocolate and the Tabasco sauce together which gives you a spicy chocolate. I really like them. I was kind of expecting to have the chocolate and then in the center it just squirts hot sauce everywhere and it doesnt. I really like this. I think that I want to go back and get some more and at .39 cents I will not complain. The cashier was really nice and this place was very clean. Thumbs up

I absolutely hate this place, and others like it.
I cannot stand when places charge you an extra .45 and then force you choose debit! I went here out of necessity, and will not be back!

Now that gas is back under $ 4 a gallon I think it’s interesting to see the popularity of these «cheap gas» stations still thriving when both neighboring stations are much more known for quality. This is where they get you coming back is convenience. Wide open entrances, exits. It’s on the popular side of the 805. Yes like AM/​PM they charge the $ 0.45 to use the ATM, but when it’s $ 0.04 cheaper in a 20 gallon tank your saving a little money. I seem to only lose mpg’s with cheap gas at slower speeds, but my commuting freeway miles is small. Surprisingly busy and well light if your under the main pumps and the specials on snacks are pretty good. Cheapest cigarette’s in the area, but there were some shady people hanging around, pulling in/​out. None of this really stopped me or other people with their Mercedes/BMW’s to see at the Chevron.

Closest gas station to my apartment. I dont come here because theres usually somebody either asking me for money or those guys that are trying to sell me tire dressings or wax for my 1989 Honda Crx.
My paint job looks like primer and they are still trying to sell me wax haha
By the way, gas isnt very cheap here and I will drive the extra 2 miles to get to the Arco on Texas. Damn right I will do that.

Um, Thrifty? I wouldn’t say thrifty. More like GRIMY… and moderately priced. I would rather pay 3 cents more per gallon at Exxon across the street; they have TVs at the pump.

Ever party in North Park and you ran out of booze ??? Well, I have a place for you.
I made a nice discovery here. This Thrifty Gas Station actually sells Liquor, just like a Liquor store does. This Thrifty Gas is 24 hrs just like the rest. But it doesn’t close at 10−11pm like the Supermarket and Liquor stores. So what does this mean ??? This means if you want to get a bottle of Grey Goose, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s, or a bottle of Bacardi, you have until 2am here. which is awesome. So if you’re partying it up in North Park, and you run out of Liquor after 12 midnight, or you’re leaving one of the bars and going to the after party at someones pad. You now have this Thrifty Gas Station as a close option.
They also have great deals on Beer just like any Rite Aid or CVS. Not to mention the low gas prices and it’s proximity to the 805 fwy.
