Gasoline is consistently more expensive here than any other place I frequent — and not by 10 cents a gallon — more like 30. I don’t ask much of places like this. Quick affordable gas. Cold Diet Coke. Two out of three and you don’t have to play chicken to get out of the parking lot. Won’t be my first choice but I won’t go out of my way to avoid it.

Not your local 7 – 11 or run-of-the-mill Circle-K. Tchoup-Stop is its own unique hybrid. Yes, carries all of the same products; no, has an entirely different flavor.

It drives my husband insane when I go here for gas but as I always tell him, 1. The pumps always work 2. I feel completely safe getting gas here 3. No one ever hassles me for money while I’m pumping. Consequently, I rarely have to fill up my car since my husband would rather do it for me than have to pay their prices. I’ve made an emergency potty stop here with a toddler and it wasn’t too bad. The store also has a good selection of drinks and snacks. And as others have mentioned, it’s our go-to place for Lotto tix.

The gas here is out of control expensive probably because there aren’t any competitors nearby. Today it was $ 3.85 and we saw gas in Kenner for $ 3.32. How does that happen? I used the restroom here which was not too gross or scary — a major plus considering an encounter with a bad gas station bathroom can scar a person for life. One of the biggest pluses here is that they do have a pretty decent beer selection for a gas station. I don’t recommend buying gas here because the prices are so jacked up, but if you are in a pinch it’s nice to have in this area where they aren’t really a whole lot of other options.

The store itself is OK, with friendly staff and a nice selection of products. Just don’t buy gas here unless it’s a dire emergency. It’s not just a few cents more here, it’s ridiculously over priced. If memory serves, they are about 30 – 40 cents higher than the gas station at Magazine and Washington.

I am raising this business up to a Three Star. The reason being is that I rarely have to wait to get PowerBall tickets when I purchase them. And that is at the times when the jackpot is large. The staff always wish me good luck. And there is no problem in parking at the business. Additionally the staff knows how to work the PowerBall machine unlike my experience at other places. That usually happens when I wish to buy a ticket for more than one day’s play. This is a nice place to get your ticket and without any delay or parking problem.

Not my favorite gas station… but one of the closer ones to my house that is actually name brand gas. The pump lines are tight which isn’t usually an issue… until people start freaking out about an impending storm and then everyone gets super aggressive. The prices are higher then most other uptown stations which are always higher than the ‘burbs. Another cost of living in the city.

Highest as prices in town. The rest is a normal convenience store with lots of booze.

It’s a convenience store, what else is there more to say? I find the gas is always a few cents higher than the norm, so I wouldn’t fill up here unless you were desperate and running on fumes. Recently, I noticed a sign on the door that now has a $ 5 minimum for credit/debit cards– which really irks me because the usual soda and/or candy bar doesn’t cost more than $ 5, so that’s kind of annoying.
