That's pretty impressive for a Shell.  

In O.C. you don't find much of a difference between the brands. ARCO used to be the cheapest by about 20 cents, but in the past few years it's been the same as Shell and the other places.

LA Arco is still cheaper by quite a bit.  Costco is still cheaper than that.  Really lower minor brands like Sinclair and such are around the Arco price.  Chevron is by far the king of high prices.  With Mobil and Shell not that far behind in this area.  Although there is a Shell in my area that must be a front for some mob since they are so expensive, usually 50 cents higher than anything in the area.

Mobil and Chevron are the highest ones in my area, and by quite a bit.

I’m not sure but I don’t think Sinclair is a ghetto gas brand.

Think of Mobil, Chevron, and ARCO as the NFL. That would make Sinclair the AFL.

Naw man, I don’t know.  You get into the upper Midwest and upper mountain states and it’s everywhere and there is no difference on its face.  Quality stations and green dinosaurs.

I have no idea why any of you ever try to argue with me.

I understand it must be frustrating that I’m annoying and right all the time.  If it makes you guys feel better, hell, I’d probably hate me if I knew me.  That said, I’m usually right and you all need to accept that.

All I know is that the Sinclair near me is ghetto as fuck.  Two pumps, a tiny store that fits one, and food trucks and parking where the other pumps should go.

I saw they have a Terrible's in Newport. Don't think I've ever seen one outside the Vegas area before.

Costco Gas. 

Bakersfield.  $4.09

Carson city.  $4.07

Fresno.  $3.55

I don't know what they are doing in that neck of the woods, but all the gas stations was around that price around Fresno.

It says people will pay more to live in Bakersfield over Fresno.

Norwalk Costco $3.79.  

Been a while since I've paid in the $3's in the Lol Angeles area.
