Montavilla Chevron

This is a ripoff gas station. I showed up to get gas one day and the attendant quickly come out and fill my gas. When paying, I noticed that the price is 15 cents higher than the sign, I asked why. He said this is an express lane, which means if all the cars arrive at the same time, I get service first. I said, the gas station is empty, why didn’t you tell me. You didn’t ask he replied.
I paid $ 5 extra for some stupid rule. I wish they put a sign out there. Yes, it is their policy, and it is the express lane. It would hurt If the attendan to remind me. The place was empty from start to finished.

I second what Don B. has to say about the location. There is a cheaper Chevron just down the road from here. I was travelling on 82^nd and looking for a gas station. I recalled that there was a Chevron, but apparently I pulled into the wrong one as the Extra Mile Chevron just down the road is about 10 cents cheaper.
The price was the same as my previous fill up so it was okay. Location is a little awkward if you need to continue travelling north on 82^nd. I would turn on to SE Washington which is one way and make a left turn when the light turns green.
An acceptable station. The best thing I can say about it is that the gas at Chevron seems better for your car than other gasoline purveyors.

Montavilla Chevron is my favorite gas station in all of Portland. In particular there is one guy who has worked there forever and he is the best gas station attendant of all time! You never have to wait at this place and it is very easy to get in and out of. (Now that I think of it ALL the attendants there are great – the long hair guy must’ve trained them!)
The other Chevron station on 82^nd (across from Walgreens) totally sucks and reminds me of a Chicago station – (next to impossible to get in and out of and also you wait and wait there).

This review is mainly a comparison with the Chevron five blocks north at 82^nd and Burnside (the Extra Mile).
The gas at this Chevron location is more expensive than the gas at the Extra Mile. The access is easier and more open, with more room to move between pumps and around the entrances and exits. But when filling up, I’ll usually make the trip 5 blocks northward to the Extra Mile.
There is something to be said for quick in-​and-​out here, though. The Extra Mile up the street can turn into a real clusterf*ck sometimes, and when I am not in the mood to deal with a bunch of mentally challenged drivers crammed into an awkward corner-​spot I’ll cruise in here instead.
Another plus to this station is the sheer entertainment factor. What could be more fun when waiting for the tank to fill than watching hookers get busted on the nearby corner, or random drunk hobos come stumbling through. There never seems to be a shortage of action in the vicinity.
More expensive gas, but better layout than the close-​by Extra Mile Chevron makes this my close second stop on 82^nd for gas.
