King Petroleum

Get rid of the guy who keeps claiming that he’s «the boss» when clearly he’s uneducated and a moron pumps gas.

Saw a good price for gas and pulled over to fill up. Was a full-​serve station, so I let the attendant pump my gas. He had a handful of cash when I gave him the full dollar amount on the pump – that I counted twice before he came to collect. I was digging for change to finish paying when he turned around for a half second and said I had shorted him $ 15.
I know I gave him the full dollar amount because I counted it twice and remember feeling lucky that it didn’t cost any more since I was out of cash in my wallet.
I asked him again and he waved two 5 dollar bills that I did not have (let alone give him) as «proof» that I had shortchanged him.
Now I know to:
1. never come here again and 2. always count the amount i give out loud to the attendant so that this never happens again.

Make sure when you get gas here that they start the pump at $ 0.00. Just got ripped off for over $ 10…they kept the pump running from the last customer. This is the second time this happened to me. I caught them the first time and figured it was an honest mistake, this time I was preoccupied and they took advantage. I drive a camry, and know for sure it does not hold 40 gallons.

This King Petroleum is on 353 Salem St. between Otis and Garfield St. Check out the reviews of King P in Woburn. King P has a history of SCAMMERS!
Filing a report with the better business bureau and the police.

Closest gas station to my house and usually has the best prices. Only negative is that you have to pay cash because they don’t take credit cards. These days you gotta shop smart and if busting out the benjamins helps me save money at the pump so be it.

I don’t remember the last time I pumped my own gas.
100% at your service! Pump and go? What else could you need?
My Honda Civic cost $ 30 to fill up, I miss those days when it use to be $ 20… But, that’s neither here nor there. I just know that, there isn’t any other place in this whole area that I can get it at that low cost.
When leaving this gas station, and you hit the intersection: For the love of Holy Hell, PLEASE hit the censor that triggers the traffic light green!
I’ve seen so many dumbfounded, unobservant drivers who can’t critically think why they are stuck behind a red light for 10 minutes. It isn’t that hard!

What more can you ask for, other than not taking credit cards? OK, maybe offering up more products on your shelves other than antifreeze would make it a little more inviting… but I’m not here for a Snickers bar, I’m here for the cheap, imported oil.
Right off the highway. CHECK!
Easy left and right turn once you are done because of a stop light. CHECK!
Cheapest gas in the entire area. CHECK!
You never have to get out of your car because it’s full serve. CHECK!
There are six pumps and you may end up waiting for a cycle or two of vehicles to get done. But who cares, turn off your idling engine as to not waste the precious gas you have and fill up on the cheapest black gold on the north shore, or at least a few cents within it.
I hate gas prices as much as the next guy but I know over the years this place has saved me hundreds of dollars vs going somewhere else, so for that I thank them!

Do you remember way back when, gas was well under $ 3/​gallon? I remember. Then I recall when it spiked (directly after I bought my new car…) and just kept edging ever higher. In order not to get nasty flashbacks of those times, and have my wallet, bank account and I all feel comfortable about filling up, I try to find the least expensive gas stations around.
If you are driving down Salem Street (quickly accessed from 93 and 16) in Medford, King’s is the place to go. They have the lowest prices around. This means that sometimes there is a line to wait in, as they mostly only have one attendant, and it’s cash only (at least I’m pretty sure it is, I’ve only used cash assuming that they don’t take cards) so get your green together before you go.
The guys I’ve interacted with have been consistently nice at this location, they are always good at directing people up to the furthest pump so they can get more people in and out of there in a timely fashion.
Final favorite feature? They are open early in the morning. This means that before rush hour gets all crazy and takes over your life, you can stop and get gas.
