Forest Grove Chevron

Staff are great and always offer to wash a window. As is typical with Chevron prices are a little high, but not too high.

Employees here are super understanding. I’m a regular here, so it’s not uncommon for them to recognize me as a student. Went to fill up my tires with air the other day (complimentary with gas purchase) and I ran out of time to use the air pump. The man working the gas pumps was kind enough to restart the the air pump for me several times (my tires were suuuuper flat after a semester and a half of use) so that I could finish filling my tires. I will definitely return in the future because of this station’s kind employees. Good work, guys!

Who knew that there aren’t any gas stations in Gaston? I sure didin’t. So when I was rolling on E* through wine country the other day, I thought «As long as I make it to Gaston, I’m cool» Well, I wasn’t. And as I coasted through town straining to find some fuel, I started to sweat. not from the heat of the day, but from the fact that my remaining mileage gauge in my dashboard was just flashing dashes.
Enter Forest Grove Chevron. While not particularly convenient to the highway on which I was traveling, it has easy in/​out access from the main drag in FG, and gauging from the pileup of cars there, it’s likely an oasis in the midst of a veritable oil desert. The service here was decently prompt and friendly, but most important they had gas. For my car. Something that the inaccurately-​named Gaston did not.
There is a mart here if you need sundries and provisions, but I have to say I didn’t pay much attention as instead I sat in my car thanking the fuel-​station fates for getting me here as I was running on fumes.

What is up with all of the «grove» cities in Oregon? Anyways… place was yet another pit stop on our trip. If you have 12 teenagers. between all the junk food and energy drinks you need to make lots of bathroom breaks. I needed to fill up on gas. it all worked out. Not pumping gas is a weird concept to me…
