Vons Fuel Station

5 Stars because this gas station is usually as cheap as Costco gas or cheaper (without using any customer rewards points)! We use Vons as our main grocery store so we build up rewards points each month and then get .30-$1 off every gallon of gas when we do that once a month. I never experience a long wait line here, which is much appreciated. They also keep the fuel station area clean. There is diesel here. This location is definitely safe for a woman during the day and even in the evenings when they're still busy but I would say if you gas up at night as a woman, just be aware of your surroundings. I never go inside for anything but my husband goes inside to purchase ZYNs on occasion.

The fuel here is consistently the cheapest in Temescal Valley, so that earns it five stars in my book! The pumps have gotten recent updates, which is a bonus when visiting. My only real complaint is that so many patrons can't seem to figure out the whole one-way in/ one-way out setup, and there are no really clear signs or barricades enforcing it among the drivers who apparently can't read the small sandwich board at the intended exit, nor see the giant arrows painted on the ground directing people. My favorite was the time I was waiting to turn left out of the station when a car that was supposed to be driving past to the entrance was stopped and holding up traffic, impatiently waving me on in front of him so he could enter from the wrong direction. That dude was truly committed to doing it wrong... Anyway, that's a customer issue more than it is due the business's neglect (kind of how it's your fault if you expect anything beyond rowdy families and apathetic employees at a discount store). The cheap prices encourage me to overlook it most of the time and just give myself a false fleeting sense of superiority as I laugh at other people's seeming incompetence... And who doesn't like feeling superior while saving money on fossil fuels??

Stop here to use restroom. The woman working there is super sweet and let me use it and the restrooms were the cleanest Ive ever seen!!!!
