8/30/2018: Heads Up, YELPing Peeps~Arco charges $3.09 per gallon for regular gas while Safeway Gas…read moreStation located at Missouri Flat Road is charging $3.11 per gallon for regular gas! WHY is Safeway charging two cents extra, eh?
Inside Arco, you'll notice the typical retail snacks and drinks; as an added bonus, there's a not-so-new Mexican Restaurant; the other, fast-food restaurant closed: The Mexican Restaurant took over the old, Schlotzky (spelling?) restaurant's business establishment which its location is in the same building as the Arco Gas Station's Retail Store.
BTW: If, you're heading towards Lake Tahoe for Labor Day Weekend, I suggest filling up your vehicle at this Arco Gas Station:
1. Less expensive gas price=$3.09 per gallon-regular
2. Easy access to Arco via Forni Road and Highway 50
3. Quick, accessible, clean bathrooms
4. Get an inexpensive car wash
5. Easy access to Highway 50 from Arco
FYI: Across the street or not far from Arco Gas Station are the following businesses:
In and Out Burger
Office Depot
CHP
Car Dealerships
AND . . .
The USDA Forestry Service located at 100 Forni Road, Placerville, CA 95667; 530-622-5061, TTY 530-642-5122, FAX 530-621-5297; office hours: 8:00 AM - 4:30PM; schedule: Monday through Friday, open year-round; however, it's closed during the holidays. Furthermore, obtaining a fire permit or reserving a Federal campsite from the USDA Forestry Service is truly ideal before driving to Lake Tahoe.
Literally, Arco's convenient location makes filling up with gas, chowing some quick snacks, chugging down a few drinks, buying office supplies or anything digital, obtaining mandatory fire permits, reserving a cool, Federal campsite, and waving,"Hi!" to CHP's Officer Friendly knocks off the massive "Honey-Do List" completing a plethora of errands quickly and efficiently.
