Shell in Long Island City (34-17 Northern Blvd)

Service was ok and cleanliness was pretty good for a gas station.

Great!

Friendly, courteous service, attendant pumps gas, regularly best price in neighborhood,

Not in business

This gas station is “not self serve” usually there’s someone who fuels the car for you. This one time there wasn’t anyone so I did it myself. The machine asks for the amount that you want and then it asks for you to select which fuel you want (regular, mid-grade, premium). I noticed that it didn’t allow me to select regular instead it automatically chose premium for me. Now I don’t know if this is something that normally happens but if it is then everyone who goes there gets cheated out on the difference between regular and premium, which can add up depending on the amount of gallons of fuel the car takes. Just in case this wasn’t some glitch from the machine I suggest you stay away from this gas station. I understand why more people would come to this one and it’s only because they advertise their fuel for a couple of cents lower than the other gas stations in the area but at the end of the day they seem to be stealing from you.

Ok
