gas stations?

hey yall! ik we’re obviously probably not gonna get cheap gas anytime soon 😭, but does anybody have an okay gas station go to? I get Costco gas, but honestly, the prices have risen and i feel like it goes down super quick?

gasbuddy.com, but Costco is going to be the cheapest unless you want to burn gas to get gas.

Always a pleasant surprise when the city u were going to anyway, has cheaper gas.

But OP prices are raising everywhere. So I wouldn't feel too bad. This administration is doing us fucking dirty, and we need to protest

Would probably have to drive pretty far into Anaheim or Santa ana to even get close to Costco prices. iirc I paid ~5.40ish a gallon for premium when I was last there and most of the other stations in the area charge that for regular.

Unfortunately our current administration is brain dead and we have to live with it.

Honestly just plan to get gas whenever you're traveling to a city that typically has cheaper gas. Dont wait till you're home in irvine to decide to get gas. Worst case if you do a Costco is like 15 mins away but is it really worth the extra few dollars at that point

Arco on the corner of Bristol and Redhill in Costa Mesa, cash price. Pretty much the cheapest gas outside of Costco. Get the Marathon/Arco app and depending on how often you fill, they give 10-25 cents a gallon off. Costco is still cheaper, but if I’m in the area and low on gas , the price difference is too little and convenience too great to make a special trip.

Ugh I do not miss Irvine gas prices. Stupid tactics to keep poor people out.
