I generally don’t ever recommend getting gas anywhere above Auburn when heading through the Sierras but sometimes you do what you gotta do. This Unocal/Beacon is on the edge of 80 and Donner Pass road which is a popular tourist stop when they go through the area. If you’re bypassing 80 traffic this generally is the first gas station you’ll see with the Kingvale Shell another exist or two down before continuing on your bypass trip.
