The gas here is expensive. I paid $4.60 per gallon for premium, branded as "Synergy Supreme+." Exxon Mobil Synergy Supreme+ is supposed to keep your engine "2x cleaner for better gas mileage," but if you read the fine print, you may only see those benefits "based on continuous use" and other factors like vehicle type, driving style, and gasoline previously used. This Exxon is located on the north side of Midtown, near the border with Buckhead to the north and Ansley Park to the east. I think that's why this Exxon is called "Uptown Station," because it's still central to the city, on Peachtree Road, north of downtown, but not quite Buckhead yet. This is an affluent part of the city. Directly across the street sits Rhodes Hall, a "castle" that is both an Atlanta landmark and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. I stopped by Uptown Station on my way home from the dentist. Uptown Station isn't very big. It's got eight pumps, four on either side of the convenience store. It looks like it had a three-bay garage at one point which has since been converted into additional store space. The store looks somewhat modernized. There's not a whole lot of space to maneuver at the front of the property. Fortunately, there's more space and a parking lot in the back. Uptown Station was moderately busy during my Tuesday late morning visit. Unsurprisingly, it was mostly the store that was busy and not the pumps. There was a Comcast Xfinity tech working atop the pole directly across from pump 2. I used pump 1 and it was in good working order. No problems. The station felt safe, but it was also during the daytime. I'd come back here if I was in a pinch.
