Shell Station

Thieves! Stay away from this overpriced station… So much more expensive than the gas stations on 4^th Ave. This is ridiculous especially when gas prices are so low now, they charged about a $ 1/​gallon more for super than those gas stations on 4^th Ave. This is criminal & I will find a way to report you. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Oh, I cry when I see this station. This is the jewel of Brooklyn. Oh, where do I begin. You approach the station, when you reach the corner. Suddenly, it appears before you. Two slick skyscrapers next to this shiny, new gas station. As I look at the price, I gaze in awe as it is only $ 3.10. I gasp, wondering how it is so cheap. I drive up, eager and excited to fill up my tank. I step out, and smell the freshened air with freebrezze Hawaiian scent. The tanks, slender n’ all, greet my face as I step out.
The sun shining in my face, I walk to the pump, every step touching the newly smoothed concrete floor, caressing my feet as I walk every millimeter closer to the gas pump. I look at the smiling faces of people nearby and think «this is where I belong.»
I touched the pump, it touched back! I took the pump, and filled my car, nodding in delight as I heard the gas filling my car, filling every single possible cavity in the engines, my car vroomed in delight, I purred back at that puppy. In total, it cost me 20 dollars to fill up the tank, but boy was it worth it.
As I left, I sighed, longing again to go to this station, but I knew my time was over. I always visit her on Sundays, and sometimes bring flowers to her. And every time I come, I get to experience it all over again.
This gas station is my drug.

The worst. Expensive. Rude staff. And they never have a pump that can print receipts, which I am convinced is on purpose so they can get you to go to their checking cashing kiosk. And the topper… highest prices in the area!

As far as I’ve found there are 4 gas stations in or bordering Cobble Hill/​Carroll Gardens, this one is the cleanest, most well lit, and least expensive of the bunch. The only thing is that they aren’t a big convenience store or a garage, it’s just a gas station.
For example on 11÷3÷13 the Shell on Atlantic Ave & Henry St was $ 3.99/gallon, the Gulf on Hicks St by Rapelye was $ 3.69 but closed for the night, the Citgo on 3^rd Ave and Baltic was $ 3.55/gallon, and this one was $ 3.49.
If you’re looking for a car wash in the area go to the Citgo, if you need something repaired, go to the Gulf.

I bought gas. My car ran.
Bonus: You can stick tokens in a big machine and do an old-​school wash with the big foam brush and wand system.

The kid who works here is attending my high school alma mater what more can I say. I will support this Shell Station just for that fact alone.

Living in Brooklyn on a budget, I can’t afford to have a car.* But occasionally I need to drive.
Handy: Zipcar.
Not Handy: When the miserable human being that rented my Zipcar previously leaves me with no gas.
Handy: This conveniently located Shell Station.
It’s just as exorbitantly priced as the rest of the gas stations in NYC, but since Zipcar is paying, it really doesn’t matter to me. What does matter, is that as you’re standing there waiting for the tank to fill up, there’s a nice little TV screen at each pump that shows various clips like the ESPN Play of the Day.
And after a long, horrible day… you appreciate the little things. You reminisce about a simpler era, when you had the time to watch and appreciate sports. Then you go back to daydreaming about winning the lottery that you never actually buy tickets for.

*And even if I did, I wouldn’t give you a ride because you NEVER throw down for gas money. You cheap fuck.
