Sorry if this has already been posted:)
In case you haven't been to the new gas station in Nicolaus....it's on 99 but only 2 miles from 70 and Nicolaus exit.
convenient for me with a child at East Nic, but also nice if you are heading to Sac or back....just stay on 99 then cut over.

It is clean, has a little store and the people are very friendly. Not the cheapest to fill up, but enough to get you where you need to go:)
