The gas and bathroom were good. I think the Shell less than a mile down the road might have cheaper gas. This place didn't have lottery tickets. When we asked them, they pointed us to the casino next door. The Shell down the road sells lottery. I'm not entirely sure why we stopped here because we went to the Shell last time but oh well. My friend said the bathroom didn't smell bad but I thought it smelt slightly foul. There was soap and warm water and paper towels. The selection of items and food seemed to be rather good. They had batteries and lighters which impressed me. The microwave was also impressive to see in such a random mart. We got Reese's pieces and melon rings for $5.98 which doesn't seem too bad. There were a few things out of order on the hot drinks machine but I wasn't in the mood for any hot drinks so it didn't matter to me. The cashier wasn't enthusiastic or especially nice in any way. She seemed like she was just there to do the bare minimum. read more

If you're coming or going or even briefly staying in the town of Bishop, this is the only gas station that you should be visiting and filling your tank with. First off, nothing else is cheaper. Even more so if you keep your plastic and go green. As in cash. Maybe it's because I always stop here on my way back to LA and it's downhill to a certain degree...or...there is some serious tribal mojo in this blend. I can't prove it. It's just that the mileage I get is otherworldly. I get back in town and have, like, a half a tank left. Now, I asked the attendant who distributes the gas thinking maybe it's processing involved some sort of Shamanic ceremony. He said he didn't remember. Right. That's the go to answer to shake me off the trail. But I know better than that. I'm certain it has mystical origins. Believe what you want. Wink, wink. read more

Gas pumps are incredibly slow. Took 3x as long to fill the tank than any other station.

My go-to for gas on the way up/back from Mammoth, it's usually the cheapest. They also have tasty snacks inside!

Great place to get gas, easily accessible and great prices! Friendly Great customer service-and walking distance to the casino!! read more

Very best managers and only the honest employees work here. It is the best gas price in town too. I dropped my wallet inside this gas station over xmas vacation. It ended up costing this gas station $10.50 and shipped it back to my house. Just imagine yourself in my situation losing your wallet, not being able to drive to work after the vacation, and not able to get cash from your own bank without an ID card, then needing to wait for a new issue card to be received by mail 10 days later. Therefore, to me this is the best gas station in the world that serves customers well. read more

BEWARE this place! They just charged $12 over on the gas I pumped. The attendant looked at the receipt and he looked at the pump and he said "Sorry there's nothing I can do about that." Yeah of course one might refund the money, but he refused. Looked at my out of state plates and said "you could come Monday and talk to someone." Flat-out highway rip-off place!! read more

Paiute Palace Gas Station - Gas Stations Near Me - Bishop, California

This gas station always has great prices before I go up the mountain to Mammoth. Additionally, the bathrooms are always clean. Rhonda, she (store manager) is the best! read more

Besides getting tickets from police and stopping at the jerky store another place has made me stop in Bishop. Paiute is pretty cheap on prices and super clean. I hate it when you got a gas station and you see that everything has a thick layer of black. It is horribly disgusting and almost bad enough to step foot into the store. This experience made me feel happy and i hope they stick around. :) read more

Not only is this the cheapest gas in Bishop usually, they have a guy that often washes your windows while you are pumping gas, and fairly clean restrooms! In other words, its a WIN WIN WIN stop. Right next to the casino if you are feeling lucky... none the less there is often a line to get to the pump but it is worth it IMHO as the line is shorter than a typical costco. I dont think I have ever waited more than 2 cars (memorial day weekend '10) to get to the pump. There is only so much you can get/do at a gas station. This particular location exceeds those expectations with several full service - services for a self service rate. Win part II - you can use credit cards here for the same rate :) Win part III - Fill up here before heading up to Mammoth, the gas is easily $.30-$.50 a gallon cheaper than in Mammoth!!! read more

This seems to be the least expensive place to fuel up in Bishop. Every time I've passed by, it seems to be busy. They have the usual travelers' knick-knacks for sale inside. There's a decent selection of cheap sunglasses if you need a replacement pair when traveling. This place was a a tad cheaper than even the AM/PM gas station near the Holiday Inn Express. read more

So I usually pay cash to get better price, but last time I used a card. Two weeks later my card was used in a fraudulent transaction. Same thing happened two years ago, a week after I had used my card here. Since it's on a reservation they aren't subject to same laws and enforcement. Be careful using card here, use only cash. read more

Gas prices at this gas station was the cheapest that we saw in Bishop. It's next to Paiute Palace Casino (some Indian casino.) We stopped twice on our trip. Tons of cars & RVs use this place to, so have patience. Prices on Sat 8/30/08: Unleaded $4.179 Unleaded Plus $4.279 Supreme $4.379 Diesel $4.479 Prices on Mon 9/1/08: Unleaded $4.159 Didn't get the gallons we bought, out total was $28.56 Credit cards taken. Bathrooms available. read more

Had a flat tire. Purchased a tire repair kit from this god awful place, which didn't work was malfunctioned !! Went back in to exchange or get my money back only to be told there was no returns on it because I used it?!? How the fuck would I know it didn't work unless I tried to use it you dumb fucks!!! Don't waste your hard earned money here! Wish I didn't even have to give them a star!! read more

When I tried to get gas here at their pump didn't work when I went inside the employee called me stupid. I can choose to get gas at a lot of different places along the 395. I would seriously suggest not getting gas here when their employees are unbelievably rude read more

Regular unleaded is very poor quality. There is a filler or something else is very wrong with it. There is another poster under "Reviews Not Recommended" that had the same problem, and another individual on Google Reviews also with the same problem. I suspected something was wrong a few weeks ago. I do not drive much so it takes about 2 weeks for me to go near empty. After close to a week, my light already came on. Something was noticeably wrong. I went to VONS instead and filled up, and that tank lasted me the usual 2 weeks. My truck also ran smoothly. I filled up today and immediately my engine was pinging, vibrating, inconsistent, and ran as if the engine was cold. I've never felt anything like this (except when the engine is cold). I could not get up hills without flooring it. It was fine before, so it is clearly the gasoline. I am monitoring the miles I get per tank both from VONS and Paiute. I have the data for VONS, and I know the miles will be much lower for Paiute (working on this tank of gas now). Go to VONS instead. Prices are very close, sometimes even cheaper, and your engine will be happy. Paiute Palace used to consistently be the lowest, but that is no longer the case, and you aren't getting what you pay for. read more

I also got a full tank of bad 'premium' at the shell auto/truck station at the south end of town. the dealer showed me a sample from my tank: it was 2/3 gasoline and 1/3 water and/or ethanol. don't buy shell in bishop, try another brand read more

This gas station is one of two casino gas stations on the long trek from Orange County up to Mammoth. Since they are technically owned and operated on Indian land, they offer some of the cheapest gas in the state. They also have casino's onsite if you would like to hit some slot machines. This one has a small convenience store with the usual caffeine and sugar staples as well as other usual gas station trinkets. read more

Cheap gas, but it can take awhile. Sometimes, the other gas stations up the road will be really close in price (a couple cents off) so you're better off going ahead if this place is packed. Inside, they have random specials for every day of the week (ie Sunday - $1 coffee, etc.) along with the average selection of gas station garbage -- twinkies, candy, ice cream... fill 'er up! The bonus of coming here is to hop into the casino after you pump and hopefully win some money! With a Mammoth pass, you get $10 to spend for free, so we were usually able to win back our carpool money! Not bad :) read more

We stopped here in the middle of the night - the lights of the gas station and the casino next door were definitely a welcome sight after more than three hours on desolate 395. The bathrooms are super clean, the prices in the store are decent, and squeegees / soapy water was avaible (the things you don't appreciate until you really need them...). read more

How do you rate a self serve gasoline station? Decent price, clean enough restrooms with ample paper, running water and a stocked beverage and snack area. The people runnin' the place were helpful and friendly, so Ba Boom, five stars for you sir! read more

Paiute Palace Gas Station - Some men mark their territory in different ways. #mirrorgraffiti - Gas Stations Near Me - Bishop, California

Cheap gas! Rude workers! Strange awkward stares! This all can be yours when you stop here for gas. This place can be packed though, so if you're heading south and it's busy, skip it and stop somewhere else. If you're heading north, it's pretty much the last stop, so suck it up. If you really feel like committing suicide, stop by the casino so you can take that next step towards pushing yourself off the edge of the cliffs of depression. read more

Awful, went to a pump and inserted my card, then when I began to pump gas the nozzle was broken, leaked gas all over the ground and my hands, and when I went in to tell the attendant she just said theres nothing she could do so a guy just went out and put a cone down, even though there was gasoline on the ground. read more

C.J was horribly rude. As soon as I walked in she was talking to another employee with curse words. I had young children with me that heard her speak badly. When we went to pay she was rude to us. I am so disappointed in this gas station. I wouldn't give them any stars -10. read more

This gas station was as expensive or more, compared to other gas stations in town. These staff in the Mini Mart are very grumpy. I would not stop here again. read more

Stopped to get gas. I was driving back to corona from mammoth. Filled up my Altima which cost $32 and some change. I got home and looked at my account and they charged me $100 even. They won't refund my money and I can't drive back to fix this seeing I live 4 hrs from them. Fuck this place! read more

This place did have the cheapest gas.... but also the worst. I filled up here on my way out of town because it was the cheapest. After about 40 min of driving I had already used about a half tank of gas and my car was not driving well. I had to stop in Lee Vining because my check engine light came on and the problem was not going away. The next morning I took my car to the Shell gas station and garage in Lee Vining (VERY helpful!) and they told me that there was a problem with my fuel intake and that i must have somehow obtained bad Gasoline. Ended up filling up there (because i had already blown through the gas I got at Paiute Palace) and about 2 hours later my Check engine light when off. I would recommend spending the extra15 cents on real Gas. read more

Cheapest gas station in the area... definitely worth a stop if it's not too crowded.

This place is the cheapest place for gas in Bishop and they take credit cards. The station can get crowded so you have to be patient. Bathrooms were also a bit of a wait. read more

We stopped in a few weeks ago & filled up with diesel at the Paiute Palace Gas Station. The automatic shutoff didn't turn the diesel pump off & it ran all over the ground and the truck. The people inside didn't seem to be concerned about it, even though the pump was defective. When we got back, I wrote to the department of Weights and Measures. We got a phone call telling us they have no authority over gas stations on the reservation. Which I kind of figured anyway, but thought it might be worth a try to get things rectified if the station isn't willing to do it on their own. The gentleman told us that probably their filters needed changing, and you take a big chance in getting water in your gas or any kind of foreign material getting into your tank and carburator. I don't think it's worth taking a chance on getting a messed up engine to save a few cents on gas, and from now on, we'll go where things are maintained properly. read more

Prices are competitive but,for some reason,they allow vehicles to enter from both sides.Makes for a real mess.I would rather avoid this traffic mess and go elsewhere,like Vons,Arco or Giggle Springs.Since the Paiute Palace ended their birthday bucks,no reason to visit. read more

The Paiute Palace gas station located in Bishop, California on Highway 395 certainly exceeded my expectations of a Native American themed service station. Upon my entrance I was thoroughly struck by the cultural diversity of the employees. They clearly took pride in being employed at the Paiute Palace, the most convenient and affordable service station in the area. I was pleased to see that the quality of the gas was very much up to par. The price of this gas was also the best I've seen all over the large city of Bishop. If you're looking for the best gas in town, the friendliest multicultural service, and a gleaming beacon of hope to brighten your strenuous drive out of Bishop, make it your priority to stop here. Whether you're a resident of Bishop, or just stopping through, your extra pit stop along the way at the Paiute Palace will not be fruitless. read more
