    I usually fill up at Chevron, but any tier 1 station is fine by me. If I really need gas, I'll go somewhere else.

    Where is it cheaper?? On lejeune gas was always more expensive than off base. Matter of fact the further away from base you were, the cheaper it was.

    I think the base prices are a contract based upon a national average. So if you're in an area that's cheaper than the national average, it would be cheaper to buy off base.

    San Diego is a high price area so it's usually cheaper to buy on base.

    I use Shell. I have the Citi Shell card which gives a 5% discount. It usually works out to about the same as getting it at Arco.

    Used to hit the Sheetz a lot because it was cheaper, but that's not really the case anymore. Now I typically use Sunoco and sometimes Turkey Hill.
