ARCO stations are run by local franchisees, so hours vary, but the ones paired with an ampm convenience store often stay open around the clock, which makes ARCO a handy late-night option in the West. To be sure, use the map above and tap a pin to read that location’s current status and today’s hours. After dark, the ARCO and ampm sites along freeways and busy boulevards are the most likely to still be pumping.
Why ARCO Is Cheaper (and Still Top Tier)
ARCO’s low prices come from how it runs the business, not from weaker gas. Stations stay lean, lean on cash and debit instead of pricey credit processing, and keep overhead down, which lets ARCO undercut nearby Shell, Chevron, and 76. The fuel itself is TOP TIER certified, carrying more cleaning detergent than the EPA requires, so you get budget pricing with name-brand quality. If hunting the lowest pump price is the goal, ARCO is a strong bet, and our guide to the cheapest gas near you covers more ways to save.
The ARCO Debit Card Fee and How to Avoid It
One ARCO quirk catches people off guard: many locations add a flat 35-cent fee on PIN debit transactions, separate from anything your own bank charges. It is easy to dodge. Pay with cash and there is no surcharge, or use a mobile wallet like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay where the station accepts it. Factoring that small fee in, ARCO usually still comes out cheaper per fill than the big premium brands.
Marathon ARCO Rewards and ampm
ARCO is owned by Marathon Petroleum across most of the West, while bp licenses the brand in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. The Marathon ARCO Rewards app adds another 5 cents off per gallon at participating stations; you enter your mobile number at the pump to earn, and credit cards cannot be linked. Many ARCO sites also share a lot with an ampm store, whose own app runs food and drink deals worth grabbing on the way through.
