We were traveling along 26, heading through Sandy, Oregon on our way to Welches, and our fuel indicator light had just come on. We saw a few gas stations but decided upon the Fred Meyers station in order to combine our gas stop with a drop in to the grocery store.
Access (5/5). Easy on/off 26 (including one entrance at a traffic light), and easy access maneuverability to the pumps. As mentioned, there's also easy access to the main Fred Meyers store.
Service. (4.5/5). This station had full service pumps. Being from a different state, we hadn't seen these in many years. The attendant was friendly, and helpful, reminding us that there's a discount with a Fred Meyers loyalty card. We have a membership but didn't have the card with us. He successfully put our telephone number in to get the discount. The "full service" only included pumping the gas; we're of an age that we remember when the attendant would also wash the windshield. We're not sure if there were self-service lanes.
Value. (4/5). We paid $3.61/gallon (Sept 14, 2024), which included a $0.03/gallon membership discount. The gas station in Welches was advertising $3.55 on their sign.
We're rounding up our rating to 5.0. read more
