Getting Gas in Upper Park Heights
No, this post is not about Kosher Bite...the gas station on the corner of Fords and Reisterstown (next to Tov Pizza) used to be my regular station, as their prices were consistently better than those in the surrounding area. A few weeks ago, the station changed over to a Chevron (not sure what it used to be), and since then I've noticed the price has gone up. Today I drove down Reisterstown from Slade to Fords, and the cheapest gas to be found was at the Sunoco at the corner of Clarks and the Exxon in front of Shabsi's (both came it at $2.25 for regular). The Chevron by Tov Pizza was $2.27. So for now, I'm going to be going to the Sunoco.
You have to watch that Sunoco. Most times it's cheaper than most gas stations but there are some times that they are WAY more expensive than the other stations. I haven't figured out any rhyme or reason for when this happens. The Crown (?) on the corner of Reisterstown and Fallstaff is also normally cheaper than other stations.
Posted by: Lanie at December 12, 2006 12:32 PMThe cheapest gas is at the station a few blocks south of Fords Lane (on the right going south).
Coming from Strathmore, it is one block up, on the left. It is under now ownership, and is consistently cheaper than all other stations in the area.
If you really want cheap gas, you have to venture to the Other Side of northern parkway on Park Heights, just one block past NP.

Posted by: aishel at December 12, 2006 12:50 PMAishel, that is where I used to go for gas when I lived in Baltimore. Of course, some people in the community thought I was crazy to cross Northern Parkway. Not generally done by those who live north of that line.
Posted by: Sara K at December 12, 2006 1:08 PMThe gas station one block past Northern Parkway is cheaper but they don't have pay at the pump. The one right on the corner of Northern Parkway is usually slightly more expensive but still cheaper than the ones on our side of Northern Parkway.
Posted by: David G. at December 12, 2006 1:12 PMAishel is right about that gas station being the cheapest. I know this because that is where my father gets gas. V'hamayvin Yavin.

Posted by: AlanLaz at December 14, 2006 8:03 AMAlanlaz- so would you if you had so much secret government information. No one is supposed to know this but my father is a CIA operative and his "nerdy/CPA" persona is really a front for the James Bond kind of spy he is. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.
