Can't beat this price. I always fill up here when I'm in Sac

Always the best gas prices around. Every time I'm in Sac, this is where I fill my tank. And it's close to the highway on-ramp.

Fyi

I frequent here as I have been commuting far everyday for work. During the times I've been here, there really wasn't a wait and picking a pump was easy. They also take credit cards! Something that ampm does not. It is your barebones self-serve gas station. Don't expect them to have trash cans or window wipers at every pump. Just get their gas and go. I've never been inside the store just yet, so this review is based solely off my experience at the gas pumps. What is kinda humorous, is that the know they have the cheapest gas in town, unless you fill up to Costco or Sam's; so they advertise debt solutions. LOL.

Was driving down Folsom Blvd & spied this- today (03/14/15), 20 cents cheaper per gallon than most spots in Downtown Sacramento.

Great Prices, But What Bullshit $75 "Hold" Policy Is This? Seriously? SITREP When hitting my eLearning Instructional Design classes at SacState Modoc Hall, hanging out at University Starbucks with classmates, and/or just cruising through East Sacramento, THIS is my gas station of choice. GOOD PRICES CJ is generally a full 20, even 25 cents less than the service stations closer to my home in Midtown. Today it was only $3.09: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cj-gas-inc-sacramento?select=qJw1LPMN85H-YBhWNO9qtg#oBq74uvfa2vw1povNHVkNg So if I find myself reasonably in this area - and more than half a tank empty - I'll make the stop and fill-up. THE SETUP I've had a long-term relationship with this station going back years & years. However, the station has placarded the pumps with stickers (can't believe I'm just noticing them now, but I don't remember this the last time I stopped here on Halloween 2014), stating they MAY be entitled to put a $75 hold on your credit card when utilizing their gas pumps: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cj-gas-inc-sacramento?select=qJw1LPMN85H-YBhWNO9qtg#qJw1LPMN85H-YBhWNO9qtg THE CONCERN What if I only need $10 of gas? Does that mean that $65 extra dollars is going to put a 2-Day (IF that's all it is) hold on my credit-card for a whole $75 hold? Call me over-curious, but I had to check it out: (1) The fill-up cost $32.64: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cj-gas-inc-sacramento?select=qJw1LPMN85H-YBhWNO9qtg#LGBOTbewYGOBbOllcsGyyQ (2) The Credit Card hold after the fill-up was...... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cj-gas-inc-sacramento?select=qJw1LPMN85H-YBhWNO9qtg#LGBOTbewYGOBbOllcsGyyQ ...was only $32.64. So at least on my credit card, the hold was only for the amount of gas put into the car. [Not including the separate $1 pre-charge to verify my account.] So the $75 hold is no doubt for the Debit-Credit cards or Debit cards. But I'm not interested in checking THAT out just to see the full hold. I have a problem with this kind of policy: (A) Many gas companies don't practice this policy - sure they do a $1 verification charge like Arco-AMPM does, but they don't "over"-hold; (B) From personal experiences with lots of businesses that put on "holds" well beyond & above the expected charge, even after the gas is purchased, the rental car returned, the hotel room left, they will STILL "hold" your funds days, if not WEEKS until your next account statement cycle. (C) The worst outcome is when a gas station states on the pump options, "Inside Credit" or "Outside Credit", and you choose "Outside Credit", but then after you swipe your credit card, the attendant THEN states on the intercom that you have to go inside. I refuse. So I leave. But then I notice that my online credit card accounts shows that I have a $40 "hold" from the gas station that I didn't purchase any gas from. I call my credit card company, and sometimes I get to fill out an online complaint-form that even leads to an investigation and the station getting fined, sometime with penalties if other complaints are already in the queue, and in once instance a business license suspension. So I DESPISE "Hold" policies of any form and see them as archaic, useless vestige (and possibly symptomatic of a fraudulent business) before all banks were "verified"-interconnected. Sure you have to live with some (ie. Hotels), but not all. THE LOWDOWN Good gas. Questionable "Hold" Policy - the fact that it is stated as a choiceless "waiver" on the gas pump, doesn't reduce the risk of mal-intent.

They have the cheapest gas in the area. Workers are nice inside the store and the price is reasonable, but cash-only.

The gas prices here are usually lower than at the bigger name stations. It's right on a corner and easy to get in and out of the property.

Did not know we had a Mavericks in Sacramento. I used to work in sales and loved going to them in…read moreReno. I havent been inside but this is one of the very few gas stations I will go out of my way for. Coming here during golden hour after work right before entering the causeway on a July evening feels ethereal. Okay thats a bit dramatic, but it's a really nice feeling! Haven't checked out the inside yet, so my review's a bit premature and biased, but will update when I do!

Being a truck stop I though it would have the best deal on gas. Boy, was I wrong. It's $0.25 more…read morethan at our local gas station. OPPs!! I told my husband about it and he already knew it wasn't the best deal around. I should have asked first, but he wasn't in the car with me. The casher was really polite and helpful. I paid with cash to save a few cents, at least I think I saved. I didn't look at the card price. It's usually more so I think I saved some. When the cashier gave me the receipt he pointed out there was code on it and I would need to enter the code on the pump to activate the pump. That was a first for me. I wonder if that means that I don't need to give them the actual pump number as there is a code attached. I gave them the pump number so I'll never really know. Good to know for next time that this isn't the best deal around. It's not even convenient for me so this is good to know. In other towns the truck stops usually have the best deal around. So, I'm not totally off my game. There are lots of pumps and when I went there was no waiting so that was good.

I give major props to this Chevron. That's unusual because I would rarely rate a Chevron above…read moreaverage because, well, it's a massive corporate gas chain with very little remarkable enough to distinguish one location from another. But the employees here are great and go above and beyond the call of duty. Anyone should laud that kind of service in this day and age. Chevron never has the cheapest prices, but I come here much more frequently now that I know they accept Safeway Club cards. With a Safeway down the street that I frequent, it's not uncommon for me to get 20 cents off per gallon here. But what really made me happy was when I came in on a hot day with my son in the back seat. he was asleep and I didn't want to wake him, so I popped in to grab a soda hoping it was quick. Turns out the line was epic. Bad timing I suppose. While worriedly looking out at my son sleeping (with the windows down, some extreme heat outside and some shady characters about), buying a drink looked less and less likely. Fortunately the clerk, who somehow read my mind, told those ahead of me that I'm in a hurry and ushered me up to the front of the line. I thanked him profusely. He even made sure to give back $5 I overpaid. What a guy! I was back on the road, thirst-quenched and baby safe, and I'll be happy to return many times again!

Convenient to downtown. Only a few screaming homeless folks, well supplied store, pumps in good…read moreorder, printers have paper!

We stopped in because we had heard they were serving cinnamon rolls and have been exploring gas…read morestations and convenience stores with hidden food gems. From what I've read, this used to be Spinners but has been taken over by different ownership and if currently Sutterville 76. They do still have hot food inside- when we visited they had a variety of egg rolls but apparently you need to stop in earlier in the day for cinnamon rolls. It's a bit tight inside, but they pack a good amount of drinks and snacks in, including some that I haven't seen in other places. When we visited the same person as running the food counter and the regular purchase counter, so you'll need to let someone know if you're looking for the hot food. Since they were out of cinnamon rolls, we ended up buying a couple drinks and some candy- we found Squashies here. We'll have to stop back in earlier in the day and update the review when we try more of their offerings.

My first time trying this place since the new owners took over and changed the name from Spinners,…read moreFirst, parking is minimal, its in side a gas station, and I popped in around 8:30am, so they only had 2 types of cinnamon rolls, I got the apple filled, and the Cinnamon with Walnuts, as well as a ham and cheese croissant. Rolls were 6.95 each, croissant must have been avout 5 as my total was 20.40,price is a little high, but I was very happy that the quality is still fantastic The cinnamon with walnuts was just drilping with buttery richness and sweet, thus the walnuts playing a much needed role in cutting the sweetness. The Apple filled was maybe a notch below, but still fantastic. Ham and Swiss croissant reheated quite nicely and was a great savory bite. Im very happy that the quality hasn't changed with the new owners, I will return !
