Olympian No 235

I really cannot understand well how things work here. They have a big sign that shows that the gas prices are lower when people pay with cash, but at night there are no attendants to take cash and the machines do not take cash either, therefore, how are we supposed to pay with cash? Anyway, I still throw in an extra star due to the fact that they are open 24 hours and no matter how we pay the gas prices are significantly cheaper than the ones at other gas stations.

Renamed FLYERS. Area is getting better, but there are still characters around. Gas prices are good, little less than the chevrons, etc. it’s usually busy, but cars move quickly.
Cesar Chavez has been repaved– palm tree-​lined!

very good price of gas there if you pay cash !

Damn Unilocal,stop nagging me to write reviews about irrelevant things; it’s a gas station!
It’s cheap gas and it probably isn’t good for my car.
I only come here when I’m really low and don’t want to risk running out on the way to work the next day.

FYI. I checked my credit card statement and besides the $ 22.08 charge used to fill up, there was a $ 75.00 pending charge the same day — both charged to OLYMPIAN #235. I called my credit card company and apparently whenever you use an ‘automated fuel dispenser’, the gas company will start with a temporary $ 75 holding charge that will go away once the real charge goes through.

— The surrounding area is not that great, but the gas is cheapest for miles around.
— At night, the station is bright and cars stop in frequently enough to make one feel okay.
— The Mission bars and lounges are not that far away.
— Located at Mission, CesarChavez (
), which leads to the freeways.
— Late at night, post-​drinking, a no payment required JC Decaux freestanding self-​cleaning restroom is awesome (
).

My understanding of cheap gas is that it’s not of sub quality, it’s just not having to pay for advertising. As for the dangerous location that the last reviewer put up that’s just racism. Cesar Chavez is LINED with Latino guys all from South America you can hire, by the hour, for labor and the Mission is primarily a Latino population. Yes there are occasional shootings in the Mission but that’s gang on gang violence and they could really care less about White people. As for the guys you can hire (while yes I am male) I’ve done it a dozen times and the worst thing is that these poor guys are mostly homeless so they’re not squeaky clean — but they RUN and SWEAT and work their ass off for you …

This Olympian is one of the cheapest gas stations in town. Usually a lot of day workers hanging out on the Army Street, I mean Cesar Chavez side but I’ve never had any trouble or seen any sketchy people hanging around the station

Skeezy but cheap gas
I would only come here if all the taxis are crowding the pumps, otherwise would not get caught dead here without looking tough enough to protect my car.
Where most gas in the city are being advertised at approx $ 3.89 a gallon, Olympian is pretty cheap that I filled up several days ago at $ 3.29 a gallon.
Have not had any issues with panhandlers or people offering to wipe off my windshield (one man actually challenged my refusal where I stated I put Rain-​X on and got all pissed off telling me I did not!) and then there was another night where there were 12 SFPD cars and the entire gas station had been roped off due to either an assault/​robbery/​shooting…
But I will force my way anywhere where the gallon is .50 cents cheaper !
