In A Sentence™
Do you seek the absolute most expensive petrol in the valley aside from the one station adjacent to Sixt Rent A Car® on Warm Springs/​Gillespie? (You’ve come to the right place.)
Quick Review™
+ They carry Thrifty Ice Cream®.
— That Thrifty Ice Cream will cost you more than a comparable amount of same-​brand ice cream with the two warm cookies at Sweet Addiction®.
— The petrol — unleaded regular — costs as much as the premium at other locations.
Employee of Excellence™
+ N/​A. Perhaps the guy (or gal) who drives this flammable liquid across state lines while staying awake long enough to avoid crashing into a school bus full of children. He’s the real MVP.

Observations since my final patronage
+ There is a station just a couple of blocks north on the West side of Durango that provides Petrol at a much lower cost. I won’t name it since you know what it is: it rhythms with NARCO.
+ It’s like stepping through a wormhole and landing back in the Dumbya years where petrol was forcing people to trade in their Durango®s for Toyota Camry®s and to pull the AAA scam* once a month.
(*Claim running out of gas; get roadside assistance to deliver one whopping liquid gallon of petrol to your location.)
+ I wish there were a sports book in the market so I can wager on the sports games that transpired in the past. It would make up for the overcharge on the fuel and turn me into a real life Biff. (Who wouldn’t want to be Biff?)
Firsthand experiences explained in a step-​by-​step guide for the worthless HQ idiot reading this: step 1. I drive to the business. (I drove there.) Step 2: I open the door of the motor vehicle and step out and shut the door behind me after popping the fuel door. Step 3: I looked at the pump number. Step 4: I began walking towards the doors of the business. Step 5: I returned to the vehicle because I forgot the pump number and need to ensure I don’t pay into the wrong pump. Step 6: Once again I walk towards the doors of the business. Step 7: The automatic doors — like magic — open for me as if I were Prince Harry, also a combat veteran like me.
Step 8: I wait for the attendant to return from wherever he is.
Step 9: I repeat aloud the number that I have been saying to myself repeatedly and hand him the Jackson. (They really should put a woman on that denomination.)
Step 10: I say thank you.
Step 11: I look at the ice cream on my way out.
Step 12: I reach the motor vehicle, remove the pump, select the grade, unscrew the cap, engage the automatic draw after inserting the nozzle into the female part.
Step 13: I open the door and get inside the motor vehicle before shutting the door behind me. (There must be a reason that Oregon and New Jersey, respectively, bar civilians from pumping their own fuel.)
Step 14: I listen to KNPR, check-​in on my Unilocal mobile application, think about Mark Wahlberg’s firefighter character in I Heart Huckabees, et. cetera.
Step 15: I hear the click of the nozzle disengaging, open the door, step out, pull the nozzle slightly out while still leaving the tip in, shake off the nozzle vigorously, place the …
I am exhausted of the firsthand experiences. You get the point.
Final Word™
Don’t come here unless you enjoy burning money unnecessarily*.

Rating: Two-​stars, «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»

Always have issues with this location and today was the last straw. Went in and used my points for 20¢ off pump wasn’t working so I told the cashier. Short old Russian lady. And she looked at me I broked it. Went out to try it again and it finally worked but I didn’t get my 20¢ off so I went back to tell her and her response was «not my problem». Wow really?!? Done with this place
