Shell

Clean, fast transactions and convenient location. I promise you this gas is the cheapest in all of RDU! It’s a small corner station that doesn’t even have a store you can walk in but they stay with the cheapest gas in the area. Check them out as their is always a line of cars spilling into the streets.

Free air I will not go to another gas station in durham. Thanks for scratching my back this shell, I got yours.

The closest to where I live, love them, there prices are usually good or inline with everyone else most of the time.
The crew at the booth are great and friendly.

Great location and I like putting shell gasoline into my car.

This joint gets 5 stars for one simple reason: free air. Every other gas station wants a buck 25 just for air. That’s worth it’s weight in anything that’s heavier than air.
Smallest Gas station ever. There’s always a wait, and it’s not like it’s 50c a gallon cheaper here, so I don’t get why it’s so busy. I doubt it’s the free air, but hey that’s why I go there. And it’s a Philip Rivers throw away from my house.

I used to really hate this gas station. Like, with the intensity of a million supernovas hate it. Here’s why:
1. It’s about the size of a postage stamp, with only two pumps and room for exactly two and half cars to line up on each side.
2. It is situated on a busy intersection (with poor visibility if you are heading east on 54), that gets exponentially worse during rush hour.
3. It has a not-​particularly-​obvious one-​way traffic flow. You are supposed to enter from Hwy 54 and exit on Barbee. If someone pulls up in the wrong direction, it essentially kills any chance of queuing up for that side of the pump.
So, what caused my change of heart? Well, it was the gradual realization that the pumps here are lightning fast, and that the gas is usually a couple of cents cheaper than any other gas station in the area. For me, that was enough to cancel out any inconveniences. I think you can also get a discount if you scan your Kroger MVP card, but I haven’t tried that yet.
However, I urge you to please use caution when you are here, and don’t try to crowd in if there is no clear spot for your car. I recently witnessed a rear-​end collision where someone who was trying to line up for the pump I was at, and the end of their car was still sticking out into the highway. I’m sure you see where this is going – they got hit by another truck that was passing by on 54. The moral of this story: Sometimes it’s OK to keep on going and find another gas station.

I am a fan of Shell Gas.
This is a small Shell, you have 4 pump stations here.
One thing really surprised me. I was greeted over the speaker system and welcomed to the Shell Station and when I was finished a voice thanked me. This was a real person, I seen her talking to me so I waved and she waved back. I liked that service.

This is my first review for a gas station. But listen, ya’all, they have FREE AIR. Yes, I realize as I write this the very irony seeping from those words, but seriously, I keep a bag of quarters in my car just in case I need to stop and pump 50-​cents worth of air into my tires (okok, or buy a candybar). And then after paying US $ 1 to use a freaking bathroom while in a Belizean subtropical rainforest this month, I registered just how laud-​worthy free air at a gas station really is!
Now the gas is sadly not free. But it is consistently a couple cents lower than the nearby station up on the corner of 54 and Fayetteville. And they have the neato extendy-​pumps that reach around your car. Do NOT come here during after-​work hours. There are only two pumps and about 600 cars any given weekday, and practically no space in their lot to pull in and wait your turn.
