On the final stretch of our return trip we were planning to stop at a Costco gas station that we had visited on our way out because they usually have the lowest price in the area. But I also use an App called GasBuddy to check prices in an area even when there is a Costco gas station nearby.
In this case, I found that this Circle K station was only 2¢ per gallon more than Costco but Circle K was right off the Interstate whereas the Costco location was about three to four miles each way off of the Interstate. When I factor in the loss of up to a half gallon of gas or more to get to and from the cheapest price, I figure that I can pay up to a nickel per gallon more for a station that is right off the Interstate.
This Circle K, like most of them, had spacious gas pumps so it's easy to pull around to get to an open pump. It was generally clean and has a convenience store as well. read more
