  LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION This is the most convenient place for me to get great quality gas when I drive on I-75 from southern Hillsborough county to Pasco county. HOW LONG AS A CUSTOMER I have been a steady customer here for over 10 years. GAS It may be me, but I think I can tell when I use Shell's premium gas rather than some of the other brands (other than Chevron's premium which I also use). STORE AND FACILITIES The store is always clean, but smaller than most places and I think the store has no or few items for the car. It is set up for snacks and drinks. The car wash is better than others I have used. I have never seen it out of order. It's where I get my car washed other than at a full service car wash. There are two rows of gas pumps that are parallel to how you drive into the place. There are three double-sided gas pumps on each row. A total of 12 places to stop and get gas. At least two hoses are for diesel. Because you don't have to make a tight turn to get to a pump like at many gas stations, I find I have to pay more attention to entering and exiting cars. It's so easy to drive onto the property and then straight to a pump (usually) or make a wide loop so the car is pointed directly towards the exit. Getting to a pump is kinda like a race car making a pit stop. I sometimes stop at a pump thinking, I need a half a turn of left-side wedge. STAFF On the few times I have gone into the store, the clerks have been efficient, speedy, and friendly. They seem intent knowing what is happening in the store (good) and getting customers in and out quickly. No complaints about the service I received. RECOMMENDATION For easy and quick great-quality gas when traveling on I-75 in Hillsborough county, for a nice car wash, and for a clean store and efficient staff: 5 stars.
