Mobil is right next to 7Eleven and a hop, skip and a jump away from the 101 freeway (exit White Oak). There are 16 pumps so no need to worry, you won't have to wait long. The location has a lot of trees surrounding it and there is ample parking in the back if you need to clean out your car. The Mobil mart is right smack in the middle of the gas station. It's quiet, almost serene. Air and Water are just a dollar. The going rate of gas is $2.96 regular, $3.06 special and $3.16 super.>>5553 White Oak Ave. 818-708-1715

Shell is located next to the uber popular Trader Joe's. So if you need some groceries and gas, this is your best bet. The station has air and vacuum each for a buck. If you purchase gas, ask the gas clerk for a token and it's free. There is a food mart that's pretty small compared to the other gas stations. Yet, it still offers all the wonderful goodies and an ATM machine. If you like to play the Lotto or want a drive-through car wash, this is your station.
