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.

Prices I saw: $2.69 $2.83 $2.93 Diesel #2 $2.69 This guy was trying to get money from all the customers - some sad story how he had no money and lost his wallet. Right, with a big-o SUV and a young lady inside not stressed out or anything. He did manage to drive off so I guess he got enough money from some suckers out there. Inside they had separate bathrooms, women's I think had 2 stalls. I will return again if I'm in the area.

Would you go to a gas station where it could cost you $167 cash to fill up your gas tank?…read more We were staying in South Lake Tahoe, where the cheapest gas was $6.59 a gallon, and were set to drive home through the suburbs of eastern Sacramento to the Bay Area. www.gasbuddy.com said Fuel 4 Less in Placerville had the cheapest gas at $5.99 a gallon, matching Costco Folsom, another 22 miles away. My 2017 Honda Civic computer readout gave a remaining range of 68 miles, about the distance from South Lake Tahoe to Placerville. Got here at 9am on a Friday, just as a couple of pickups were leaving. To fill up one of those pickup trucks with a 28-gallon tank would cost $167 in cash. Maybe they're here for the lowest priced cigarettes also. Turns out it's $5.99 a gallon paying in cash, and $6.09 a gallon paying by debt or with credit card. Not in the habit of carrying large amounts of cash. I had the cash but wasn't going to chance going inside to pay. Other reviews had warned of store clerks with an attitude, of ladies being ogled by shady characters standing around, or of drivers coming back from inside, and finding their vehicles blocked in. Don't have to worry about being ogled, but still not worth saving 60 cents. Finally, what store being under new management, would apologize to its loyal customers for any inconveniences experienced under the old management? Turned out, I only needed 9.79 gallons to drive 399 miles, or 40.75 miles per gallon. With a 12.5-gallon tank, could have driven 509 miles, or another 110 miles further. Of course, could have ended up stuck on the 8-mile-long San Francisco Bay Bridge, out of gas.

On this trip, we didn't start on "Full" and a precautionary ~1/2 tank fill-up in Hang Town seemed reasonable. Plus, gasoline prices only get higher in the mountains. I'm not sure that the Placerville Valero is the cheapest, but it is easily accessible off US 50, especially if when we stop at the nearby Starbucks first. This time around, I didn't read the separate cash/credit prices closely enough, but I was just happy to have a full tank as we headed down the road.

If you're from the Sacramento area and you're wanting to take a trip into Tahoe or anywhere nearby,…read morethis gas station is on the way and very convenient. The location is perfect. Starting in the Sacramento area, you have to take the 50 East, there is a break in the road trip once you reach the city of Placerville. In Placerville the freeway comes to a stop and slow down, there's a light/intersection. It's a good stop to go get something to eat and or go to the bathroom. Most importantly, if you need gas this is the place to go! It's right off the turn into the small town. It's pretty spacious with parking spots and gas pumps. Also, there's a great Shell market that's available. It sells all of the gas station goodies along with restrooms to help assist the journey in. Everyone is super friendly and I recommend stopping here.
