Tualatin Gas and Food Services

Seriously the nicest attendants work here. The bearded guy in the morning, the manager and a young kid who always wears a black hoody. Friendly, conversational if you want and I prefer to go to places that have polite attendants.

I can’t give this location enough stars. If there were 100, I would do just that.
I’ve lived in the Tualatin area off and on for 10 years, and this was always my go-​to gas station. About 7 years ago it came under new ownership and that really made all of the difference. The new owner (Steve, I think his name is) is about as nice as it gets. Kenny, the manager, would probably give you the shirt off his back, and almost all of the staff are long-​time workers that remember you (Selma!) The gas station attendants come-​and-​go, but that’s to be expected.
So many great experiences I wouldn’t even know where to start.
Gas. One day I forgot my wallet. They let me fill up and return to pay them. Who does that?! Awesome.
Beer/​Wine: If they don’t have it and your wife wants it? Guess what? Kenny or his boss will have it ordered and in stock with in a week. Again, who does that?
I’ve been to this place over a thousand times, easily, and without fail the attitude is always the same. If you want cheap gas, they usually have it. If you want to play some lottery and talk to the people working — go ahead. They also have some decent gas station food and a clean bathroom.
I literally could not recommend this place enough and I don’t really spend time raving about awesome places unless truly warranted. I feel bad for all the Tualatin residents with the new Cabelas that’s coming in that will more than likely make that one-​exit town more congested, but hey, if you need gas I know a pretty cool place.

Do you smell that? That’s the smell of saved bacon. My saved bacon!
Yesterday was snowpocalypse09 and we were low on fuel. While fueling up our battery died… Not sure the cause. Maybe it was the cold weather… It sure as hell couldn’t have been the lights, fog lights, heater fan, rear defroster, radio and cell phone charger that were left on while the car was off to bee filled up. Nope… Couldn’t have been that at all.
After filling up the car wouldn’t start. They gas station attendants helped push our car out of the way so other customers could get gas. They had us push the car over towards a Bronco in the parking lot. Next they I know what of the attendant was opening the hood of the Bronco and handing my jumper cables. Soon our car was started and we were on our way.
He didn’t have to help us, but I’m sure glad he did. It took us 5 and a half hours to get home. It could have been way worse without his help.
Thanks Bronco dude!

I keep very close track of my MPG. I have a hybrid and I have been getting 47 mpg mixed when I go to my favorite gas station-​the Shell in Aurora. I purchased my last fuel at the 76 in Tualatin and I am getting 43.5 MPG mixed. I don’t know if 76 has control of this or not. Just an observance.

Dear 76 gas-​station man,
Thank you for the cheap sunglasses. On a day like today when nothing could possibly go wrong, you set the bar high by not only letting me strut my stuff around your store, «feel out» which pair of $ 9.99 or less sunglasses would help my «pimp game» be at its best, and indulge me in the age old debate of aviators vs. Elvis — but you sang me a song while I was at it. AND you only charged me $ 3.99.
I dedicate this ZZ Top Song to you — although your rendition was MUCH better… highlighting verse two was a KEY choice…
When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-​runnin’ and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Spied a little thing and I followed her all night
In a funky fine levis and her sweater’s kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark thay won’t even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah”
