It's weird to write a review for a gas station right? Well...let me tell you a little story…read more Going to Tahoe for the weekend seemed like a great idea. Finding a room was easy. Walking around while it lightly snowed was lovely. Getting stuck in a snow storm, in a car with rear wheel drive...not the biz. Soooo after a very slow drive to try to get to Tahoe City to find a place with chains this Chevron calls out like a beacon of light, or whatever. Alex who works here was great. He found the right type of chains for my car and assisted in getting the chains on the car (which is def not his job). He went above and beyond and deserves some recognition. So shout out to him!

I pull in - a station employee walks up and informs me that we will have to wait 5 minutes or so as they had a a problem with the pumps and they were rebooting them. Wow - the pumps must be controlled by Windoze... So we pulled out and went next door to the Tahoe City Store and gave them our business - their gas pumps were up and running!

Honestly, I'm not too surprised I'm the first person to review Donner Gas. It's a rather…read morenondescript gas station just south of the Soda Spring exit on I-80, 13 miles west of Truckee. It's owned by the Wells family who also own the Nyack Shell. Why do I know so much? Last week, I was stranded there for over six hours waiting for a tow from AAA when my car broke down. (As an aside, AAA didn't come for 11 hours-- thanks for nothing). It was quite cold in my car, so I took frequent breaks inside the store. This is what I learned: *Donner Gas has a core group of people who are very nice and care about their jobs. They keep a very clean and well organized shop. *Bathrooms are accessed from the outside, and unlocked. You don't have to fuss with a pesky key. *The store has a variety of healthy food. Interspersed with the typical junk food are cheese sticks, raw nuts, cereal, bananas, and a selection of fresh salads and sandwiches. They also have some frozen meals (eg: burritos) and a handy microwave for defrosting your lunch. In other words, you can eat well if you want to! *Store also sells a variety of household and automotive items-- wine openers, motor oil, Tahoe souvenirs. *There is a large heater in the back that you can stand next to and warm up. Mostly, the staff were very welcoming and accepting of me and my teenage son. I appreciate that they let me hang around their store for so long! The store is also called "Sugar Bowl gas" for reasons I don't quite understand. Hope you get to drop by, but not because you have been stranded for hours.

Four of the six coffee machines were out of coffee so we asked the girl if she could make some coffee and all she did was push a button and I asked her if she needed to like put fresh grounds in there for the coffee. She looked at me and turned around and walked away. So I walked out of the store. It's all good. You don't wanna make fresh coffee that's OK and wouldn't it be wheat if you're using grounds for the second time there was no grinder. There was no changing of the cone to the coffee itself. She just pushed the button let it run through again. I will think twice matter of fact I didn't think twice I went somewhere else this morning I got a really good cup of coffee for 2.50 which was cheaper than them so there you go.
