This place can go straight to hell for a couple of reasons...
For starters, the gas is a good 20 cents higher than every other station in town (yes in town...as in the middle of the city!) That's some real price gouging there!
...and because i barely drive and i buy gas at the last minute, i often have to buy gas here anyway (location, location, location!) At least they give you the Winn-Dixie discount. They get a whole star for that...if only it off-set the fact that it still doesn't make up for the mark-up....and the closest Winn-Dixie is in Gentilly (it's still almost the closest big grocery store--the curse of the Bywater/Marigny.)
They do at least have a working air pump (for $1 in quarters)...which goes well with my redneck-parking-lot-mechanic tendencies. Some out-of-work brown person might even offer to change your tire for you...if you're into that.
i just realized i've never even been inside the place...so i guess it is at least kind of convenient in that way...but that's also because Hank's is right down the road and that's where i'd take my usual convenience store business...they just don't have gas or air. read more
