Shell

I have been buying fuel here for a long time. After meeting the manager I’ll take my business elsewhere.

It’s a gas station in the middle of nowhere on I-​5, didn’t expect much. But the pumps are slow and very old, and they only have poorly maintained (disgusting) porta-​potties outside. You can make it to the next stop, I promise.

This is now a Chevron, construction going on but looks permanent, only a couple shelves, empty and abandoned looking. Restroom closed, only 2 portapotties for use outside. Cheaper gas and bathrooms just down street at Valero.

Any port in a storm, and we didn’t realize there was cheaper gas not too far off. Mini mart prices weren’t as bad as expected, though.
Pass.

Buyer beware!
I stopped for gas here on the weekend. I was travelling 101 North, and didn’t know how far the next station would be (there hadn’t been many gas stations before this exit). Half way done pumping, I realized I was paying ~$ 5.11 /​g for the lowest grade regular gas!!!
The next station I passed, only a few exits up the freeway was selling the same grade at 4.68 /​g.
Price gouging for sure.

Okay. I understand that gas stations that are located right off freeway exits tend to charge a higher price. This particular Shell, however, takes price gouging to another level.
If you’re heading north on 101, do yourself a favor and skip this Shell. There are less expensive stations just a couple of exits up ahead.

One of the most over priced and dirty gas stations in the U.S.A. Just paid $ 4.99/gallon for premium when the going rate is under $ 4/​gallon. Bathroom has no sink to wash hands and the most pathetic store I have seen. Very shocked Shell would let them use their name. Keep driving one mile North or South and you will save $$$.

PRICE GOUGING!!! These guys are a total rip-​off! They place the price of diesel on top and make you think that is what you are paying. We stoped there this past week and paid 4.79 for regular! Just up the road was gas for 3.79! We bought 4 gallons and kept driving. These guys give gas station the bad reputation most of them have. Do not stop here! Either choose one of the other stations in King City or keep driving to the next town where gas is at least a 1.00 a gallon cheaper.

$ 5.10 for premium? What, taking advantage of the people who have to drive over the mountains to get out of the Central Coast with the mudslides?
Sleazy!
Go into town. *Much* cheaper gas.

Super expensive gas prices don’t fall for there trick of putting diesel gas on top so it seems cheap gas.
Get off the canal exit and just visit the 76 gas station cheaper gas, great service, clean bathrooms what more can you ask for oh an free coffee cup with a fill up.

$ 3.59/gallon for regular gas? It’s because you’re easy off and back on the freeway!
Small mini mart, high prices, single bathroom… I’ve seen way better…
But I do like your Planter’s Smoky Bacon Peanuts ($ 2.25). :)

This Shell station has a restroom with a sign (a piece of paper, hand-​written in marker) that reads «knock before entering» on its door. The restroom does not have a sink!!! No sink!!!
