American Gas

I’m updating: the e85 content has improved at this station. Seems near 80% now. I understand ratio will change seasonally station to station.

Not the nicest gas station around, but when you need a quick filler ‘er up near 101 and 280, American Gas seems to work fine.
Pre-​pay inside, whether you’re using cash or credit card.
Getting in and out can be a bit cumbersome, as traffic heading towards the freeway is frequent. And though u-​turns in front of American Gas are technically prohibited, I’ve seen it happen more than once.
Can’t say I’d recommend, since I rarely send folks towards or away from a particular gas station. It is what it is.

Soooo we went to this store around 10pmish. After we’d purchased 6 – 7 bottled drinks n snacks the male attendant asked did we want a bag. Really?! What?! You want us to carry these items in our hands?! In today’s climate?! Also, the female attendant slams the money on the counter. What?! She couldn’t put it in my hand?!
I would rate this station less than 1 star if it could be selected.

the nearest gas station off the 101 before the 280 South Interchange with no automated credit card setup at the pump/​flat screen tv talking to you/​little clicky thing so you don’t have to stand there and hold the pump, and the bottom of your car may scrape the sidewalk if you put out of the ambiguous driveway. BUT! such a nice person working inside who says such sweet things that made this all fun!

No frills, but c’mon — it’s a gas station. Now that gas is permanently over $ 3.00 a gallon, 25 cents a gallon can make a big difference if you drive a lot. American has consistently cheap gas and a working bathroom, as well as being staffed seven days a week so you can pay in cash, unlike the neighboring Alenzia station, which seldom has anyone at it Saturdays and Sundays (cash usually saves you a few pennies a gallon). The guys who run it are friendly, it’s close to the freeway for those heading south on 101, and can usually get in and out of here in less than five minutes You’ll almost always see cabbies filling up here, and you’ll seldom have to wait for a pump, all of which are working. Just be careful pulling out onto Army street — you really have to time your exit well due to the close proximity of the 101 on-​ramp.

They’ve put their price up to 1.899, they were down to 1.699, and they are now one of the most expensive places in the neighborhood. This is the only station I’ve seen raise their prices in a month.
Oh well, Chevron’s under two dollars a gallon now so I’ll start buying the good gas again.

Cheapest gas near Noe Valley/​Mission.
