I know you’ve caught yourself saying this at some point while driving past a gas station this summer: “Look, gas is only $4.25 a gallon!”
But imagine my excitement when I saw gas under the $4 mark today!
To celebrate, and for informational value, I logged every gas station I passed on my drive from down by LAX to home, marking the cost of 87 octane.
The highest was at the 76 station at 6th & La Brea, at $4.25 per gallon, while four gas stations dared to sell fuel at $3.99 per gallon. Their exact locations in bold after the jump…
- Mobil, Centinela & La Cienega: $4.09
- Chevron, Coliseum & La Brea: $3.99
- 76, Jefferson & La Brea: $4.05
- Chevron, Adams & La Brea: $4.09
- Valero, 23rd & La Brea: $3.99
- Chevron, Washington & La Brea: $4.07
- 76, Venice & La Brea: $4.07
- United, Pico & La Brea: $3.99
- Arco, Olympic & La Brea: $3.99
- 76, 6th St. & La Brea: $4.25
- Valero, Beverly & La Brea: $4.01
- Chevron, Beverly & La Brea: $4.05
- Chevron, Melrose & La Brea: $4.11
- Shell, Fountain & La Brea: $4.19
Has anyone seen even cheaper gas around Los Angeles?
$3.95/gal this afternoon at the ARCO station across the street from KPFK.
76 on Figueroa in Highland park, $3.84 I believe. Every gas station on the corner is under $4.
I spotted $3.87 for 87 at a Thrifty in Bell Gardens tonight.
Let’s try the gas station map thingy (which is showing yesterday’s prices at the mo)
In my neck of L.A., the Mobil station at Topanga Cyn and Victory in Woodland Hills/Canoga Park is reliably low. I filled up there the other day for $3.95 a gallon.
3.99 in koreatown at western and olympic this morning when I stopped to fill up.
I spotted a couple of places in West Covina under $4/gallon by a short hair. I’m not quite singing “happy days are here again” but in real world terms it is about $15 less per fill/$60 per car more back in my pocket so I am breathing a bit easier.
3.99 at the ARCOs on Foothill/Daisy and Colorado/Kinneloa in eastern Pasadena.
The ARCO on Colorado/Kinneloa also has the CHEAPEST cigs in town. Most major brands are $3.50 or under!!!!!!!
Fill up fast, before gas goes up again because of the mess in Georgia (major pipelines there). I have no idea if the flow of oil has been interrupted because of the conflict, just know that “instability” means more $$$ for the oil companies.
Yes, I am having all of our drivers go there now.

I don’t know the brand, but the station at the Balboa offramp of the 118 had gas for $3.91!
