Cheapest (I use the term loosley) gas I've ever seen in the Bay Area...even with the $0.45 debit card fee. They don't accept credit cards so be prepared. The smogging is more like a flogging as they charge way more than several other places in the area. The offerings inside the little gas station are quite meager.
Lowest price gas in the area gets 5 stars in my book! -

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING HERE!!! BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS!! I came in here to have a smog check done on my car, and they told me AFTER THE TEST WAS OVER that they only take cash or debit cards. That should have been a huge red flag!! The test was one price, but when I checked my bank account, they had charged my debit card for $120, which was $40.00 over the amount of the test. When I went to complain and get my money back, they told me that I had received $40 cash back. Clearly I had not gotten any cash back, they had swindled me out of that money!!! Who would get cash back from a smog check?? When I went back, I met with the owner who was rude and mean to me and asked me to leave. Be careful, as they are probably charging other people's cards more than the actual amount of any purchase--even if you are only buying gas!! TERRIBLE PLACE--NEVER GET A SMOG CHECK DONE HERE!!! If I could give them less than one star, I would......

I left the Pleasant Hill house this afternoon and was heading to OAK to pick up my son. However, the "Empty" light came on and now was the time to buy gasoline. Arco was the closest gas station available, and it was a simple matter to pull in and fill up, and at a good price.
And yes, Arco is a BP brand. On one hand, the oil spill (and rig explosion that killed 11 people) is yet another in a series of BP negligence that includes the relatively recent Texas City Refinery explosion and the Alaska Oil Pipeline leak. Not only does BP's CEO (and his predecessor) have a tin ear, but the safety and environmental protection culture is arrogant and broken. On the other hand we have had an incompetent Federal response, pathetic Administration leadership, Congressional hot air, and now an escrow account, that is nothing more than shameless political posturing and another corruption opportunity that crosses partisan lines. In the middle are hard working Gulf Coast residents, many of who have lost their fishing, tourism, oil drilling, and other livelihoods, and in 11 cases, their husbands and fathers.
The independent business person who owns this Arco is in the middle too. So although I won't go out of way to buy gasoline at BP, I won't be boycotting this hard working local merchant either. -

It was kinda confusing at first because the machine is not on the pump meter. It's separated. Prices were okay. abit cheaper than Shell.
