Chargepoint way better Pro tip? come across the street to the Shell station where there are both a level two and level three charger that are sometimes available. those chargers are a little cheaper as well. Note that they go up in price at 4 PM when the power is no longer renewable clean energy.

Heading to the Lake Tahoe area on CA 88, this is the last gas station and comfort break opportunity…read morefor many miles. We stopped here recently for fuel, snacks, etc. during our last trip. There was only a porta-potty available, but we were relatively desperate. The guy in front was very friendly and the snack prices (for what we like) were relatively reasonable.

This establishment has constant refrigeration problems. We lost power for 2 weeks in January and…read morethey left all the dairy, ice cream, all perishable products were left for the community to purchase. I assumed they threw the stuff away, all other stores did. So I continued to purchase my 2 year-olds milk from 13 mile. My son got super sick, the milk i bought was spoiled, all of us that drank it got sick. I tried to address it with "happy" the employee and he said that they would not replace the product and would continue to sell it. Today at 10 am I went in to get a coffee from the fridge and it was hot. I told the employee, she got ahold of the employee, Happy and he came in. I asked him if he would be replacing the hot dairy products, he again told me "no" and said that if I didn't like it, I don't have to shop there, he yelled at me, as I was walking out the store, I got to my vehicle and he was still by my open windows yelling at me. I had to tell him numerous times to stop interacting with me. It was highly inappropriate, I had my son in the car. I highly encourage everyone to take there business to the brand new AMPM down by the Sly Park exit. They have refrigeration that works and my family has never gotten sick from there products. Oh and there employees wont follow you out to your vehicle and yell at you, AMPM treats there patrons with respect and kindness.

It is a helpful place to grab things if you are passing through the area. Unfortunately, the service experience left a bad impression. I overheard the owners talking negatively about customers after they thought they had left, just because those customers asked a simple question and were not locals. That felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. Overall, the store has what you need, but the customer service and attitude could definitely be more friendly and respectful toward everyone.

Great little gas station and mini mart…read more We were on our way to Hell Hole Reservoir. Stopped here to use the bathroom because I'm particular about where I pee. I'm not one to just pull over to the side of the road and pee in the bushes. I don't like to pee outside. I don't even pee in the ocean. I'm particular where I pee. This place is way up in the mountains, and as it turned out, exactly where you need a bathroom to be if you had multiple cups of coffee before you left Sacramento, as I had done. So happy to discover this gas station does have a public restroom. It's in a small building separate from the mini mart. It was clean and tidy, qualities we all appreciate in a public restroom. After taking care of business and washing my hands I popped into the Mini Mart to spend some money. I didn't actually need anything, I had snacks in the car. But when I stop at a little mom and pop operation like this I always try to spend some cash. I want this place to still be in business next time I'm passing through. The Mini Mart has mad snacks! Including many of my favorites, like Chili Cheese Fritos, Chicharrones, Trail Mix, Chex Mix and Pretzels. They had about ten or fifteen different kinds of Sunflower Seeds. Some weird ass flavored ones too. For example: Taco Supreme flavor, Zesty Ranch flavor, Dill Pickle favor, Jacked Pepper flavor, Takis Fuego Flavor, and BBQ flavor. For a hot minute I considered trying one of those bizarro flavors. I eventually decided to just get a bag of regular old David Original Jumbo seeds. My same old, same old. Maybe someday I'll try one of those exotic flavors. But probably not. Oh, and I love that the self service soda fountain featured Pepsi products, Love me a Pepsi with my Sunflower Seeds. In fact, there's a veritable plethora of drink options in this Mini Mart. In addition to the self serve soda fountain, there's also a slushie-type machine with two flavors (red and blue). They even have one of those push button automated Espresso machines. The Mini Mart is stocked to serve the local community as well as travellers passing through. Shelves were stocked with everything from pet food to BBQ supplies. You need Folgers Coffee, French's Mustard, Del Monte Ketchup? Top Ramen, Campbell's Soup, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese? Toilet Paper, Motor Oil, Insect Repellant? You need a Gas Can? You can find it all here at the Forresthill Valero Mini Mart. And I was impressed that the price of gas here wasn't that much higher than it was in Sacramento. So, yeah, I'm a big fan of Foresthill Valero. I especially appreciate that they provide a public restroom. I was happy show my appreciation by spending a few bucks Mikey C says: Forresthill Valero, 5 Stars all damn day!

Aaaaaalllll right... So, some company from out of town decided they wanted to go camping, and we…read morehad a few dogs in tow... So my friend and I decided to opt for some car camping. Loaded up the car and SOOOOOMEone (not me, I didn't drive) forgot to check the gas tank. We were driving on less than a quarter tank and by the time we got to this area our low fuel light came on. Worried that we'd run out of fuel, we headed towards Kirkwood since we assumed the resort would have some, but we saw this place and stopped inside asking where the nearest gas was. We didn't see the pump since we parked on the other side of the building. They only offer regular unleaded, so if you need diesel fuel, you're SOL here. Filled up with enough gas to get us to the campground and back home. It was expensive, but no more so than we expected. Actually cheaper than we expected since we know that gas in the boonies would be a ripoff. Still, the convenience of having the option to get gas out there was sort of a lifesaver. Note: Amazingly, there are seasons out here (snow and not snow), so the area isn't always a barren snowy wilderness. During the summer, it actually turns into a barren non-snowy wilderness.
