Simon’s Chevron

Gas! It makes me GO!
SITREP
Specifically: this is the primary gas station in my uncle’s hood of Atwater-​Glendale. And it actually is kept pretty clean and maintains a very convenient ingress/​egress from Los Feliz.
SETUP
In General: I prefer to hit Chevron over other gas stations because:
(1) they have a higher quality gas I’ve found to be true in the long run of driving for more than 20 years;
(2) unlike Shell and Texaco and Exxon, doesn’t seem to have the drama other gas companies have;
(3) Anyone else getting sick of AM/​PMs refusal to let motorists use credit cards (other than the SMF location) without an extra fee attachment?; and,
(4) As far as gas companies go, Chevron seems to be making the greatest strides in pursuing alternative and renewable energy resources.
It IS one of the more expensive gases — and often one of the first chains to RAISE the gas price as well as one of the LAST to reduce it. So minus one-​star for not being a more considerate member of the community.
THE LOWDOWN
A great gas for the vehicles I drive.
[The survey question at the bottom of this review template asks, «Parking»: «Valet, Garage, Street, Private Lot, Validated (?)» — I’m going to be a DICK and put «Valet» because I DESPISE survey-​instruments that do not take into consideration the business they are being associated to.]

Friendly clerks, one of the regular cashiers always chats me up and asks me about my day. He says «thank you, come again!», which always makes me smile. They have a little deli in the back which I haven’t tried, and a full mini-​mart. Very large corner gas station with lots of room for parking. Wish I could say the prices are competitive, but that’s the oil industry for ya. Be careful of the crazy lady asleep outside. She kills animals.
