Thrifty Gas Station

This Gas Station is listed as Thrifty Gas but it is also listed as USA Gasoline.
I remember coming to this location when Gas was $ 0.98 cents a gallon, the good olé’ days. I no longer come here for gas because Costco is located right down the street and they offer better rates. I stopped by here today for one thing and one thing to play the Lottery.
Out of all the times I have been here I do not think I ever walked inside of their little mini-​mart and probably for good reason, this place was small and I mean closet small. I walked in and began looking for the lottery tickets and located them on top of a small refrigerator hidden by some boxes. Once I got my hands on one I also immediately noticed there was no place to fill them out. There was no lottery desk and quite frankly no flat surface to fill in the numbers which requires you to either 1. Use the top of the refrigerator which is literally almost above you head or 2. Fill out your lottery tickets at the cash register. The cash register area is packed with little knickknacks which only allow you to put down a few items the line will back up quickly behind you as you fill out your tickets and this is exactly what happened to me.
In the short period of time I was inside of this establishment a line quickly formed behind me, I could see the rolling of eyes of the customers waiting, not sure if they were upset at me or the fact that this store is trying to pack as much stuff as possible into a small space for an unknown reason. I felt like I was in an episode or Hoarders. This place even had an empty refrigerator sitting on the counter, not plugged in and not a thing inside of it.
There is ZERO chance I come back here.
If you do come here be careful the intersection leading in and out of this Gas station in a photo red light intersection and during my 5 minute visit to this establishment I watched two people get nailed and that is not a leter you want to receive in the mail out of the blue.

Cheap gas, but the Costco gas is cheaper and is right next to the place, if you have a Costco card. I don’t like being charged extra for using my card. Other than that, it’s close to the freeway and is okay to get to.

cheap gas. location is NOT open 24hrs. very busy (and somewhat dangerous) during operating hours due to the Costco, 405, Rosecrans, Restaurant and Construction traffic. man it’s busy. it’s pretty tricky trying to get in here because if you’re coming west to east on Rosecrans and you don’t fall into the right hand lane early enough, you’ll be fighting with EVERYONE and their mother trying to get over. and man, those soccer moms will ram you if you try and cut them off. bitches.
anyway, the gas is always cheap and, most of the time, worth the hassle. if you can make it, head a little north to El Segundo Bl to the other Thrifty by Hawthorne High or further east on Rosecrans to the Shell by Denny’s, both inexpensive and more vehicularly manageable.

This is a gas station — but I want you to go and I want you to pay cash — there is a female cashier here with amazing eyebrows and nails. I am around this area on Fridays — if you are too — you should go pay cash for gas or buy some gum and just appreciate this woman.

From my house to the 405, this is the only gas station I don’t have to make a U-​turn to get to. They only take cash or ATM, and that’s s****y, but it’s better than having to make 2 u-​turns to get back on track…

Cheap gas that accepts ATM or cash only.
45 cent fee if you use your ATM card.
If you’re like me and drive your car to empty on the way to Equinox south bay, this gas station is ideal cause it’s right next to the gym.
I was coming from Malibu and half way to DTLA my light turned on.
I still had to make it to south bay on empty and my class started at 5:45pm! it was 5:25pm and I was late!
I went to Equinox and was worried my car wouldn’t start… thank god I have a prius. I was able to start my car and get to this station just in time to fill up again. :)

Too much traffic in the area. the gas station is very small.
This place only excepts cash or debit.
Gas prices are reasonable.

This Thrifty Gas location seems to be the only gas station West of the 405 in the neighborhood. It got my attention last week because their gas prices seem to run about a dime cheaper than at home.
The lot here is super tiny and is located on the corner of Rosecrans and Hindry, Hindry being a street which also doubles as a 405 South feeder street, so you can imagine the heavy traffic. The only way I was able to utilize this station was go to a little before 10AM when the traffic wasn’t so bad. Even then, I had to wait a couple of street light cycles to be able to turn right and merge back into traffic to turn left. I couldn’t see myself using this location during rush hour at all. Too damn busy.

Horrible, dangerous place. I got gas here and the auto-​off on the handle malfunctioned sending gas all over the ground while I was washing the windows. I told the guy about it and 1) he blamed me, 2) he charged me for the gas his broken pump sent all over, and 3) he didn’t make any effort to clean the spilled gas up. No sand or anything. It was so bad, if I had had my phone I would have called emergency services, not to mention the department of weights and measures for that f’ed up pump. Instead, I verrrry carefully drove away and will never go back.

Ok, let me just start off by saying that I go to this gas station IF and only IF I’m desperate. My car basically has to be running on fumes and I need to be in a rush to get on the 405 to be somewhere. Here’s the deal. Every time I go here, I get frustrated. First of all, the location is, and is NOT convenient at the same time. Just before the 405 freeway entrance on busy Rosecrans Avenue (nearby McDonald’s and Costco… large and in charge crowds) makes it a real cluster to get in and out of. You might save a few bucks on gas, but if you get clipped on the way out as people speed up to jump on the freeway, you’ll be racking up bills elsewhere.
On top of it, the machine you use to pay for your gas is a real pain in the butt. Simply not easy. Pumping gas is not a fun activity as it is, but for some reason, it’s extra painful here. Like anything else, you get what you pay for. If it’s cheap you want, this brand delivers on its promise. But if spending a few extra cents per gallon means I won’t want to pull every hair out of my head, I’ll opt for that.
