Valero Gas Station

The most expensive gas in Coronado! Or maybe San Diego, It is a tourist trap, getting you when you come off Fourth.
Just drive down to IB and hit up the Beachside Station on Palm, or head over the bridge and get gas somewhere else.
Friendly staff, and clean place though!

Got ripped off with foreign coins for change. Lots of tourists in Coronado, so I should have been more careful. This place gives you a lower price if say up front that you are paying with cash. They had plenty of time to check out the change they were going to give me as I finished up at the pump. They gave me not just one, but two, worthless Philippine pesos that were the same size as quarters.

Gas is CRAZY expensive here! Knowing I was on Coronado, I knew I’d be in for a shock, but I wasn’t expecting it to be that high. Wowza. This location is really tiny too — I wasn’t sure if a car could even navigate the inside pump without hitting the building.
I’d only stop here again if I was mega desperate, otherwise I’d definitely plan to drive across the bridge and find somewhere else.

Man. These guys have great gas. Little stinky but makes my car go.

This place gets only one star.
The gas here is soo expensive I just drive by and laugh. I guess that’s why it’s on a busy intersection and nobody goes there.
How is this place even still in business?
Tip: Drive over the bridge and get gas.

Gas is kinda of expensive because I feel like you are almost on an island in Coronado. However thank goodness there is a gas station in Coronado we were on empty! I also needed to use the bathroom and there was one yay! Go here to get gas and use a bathroom :)

I believe this is one of only 2 gas stations on the island.

They really shoot themselves in the foot by keeping such high prices. I will drive past that station EVERY time unless I am literally running on fumes.
Any time I have *had to* stop there due to time constraints, I have only ever pumped about $ 20 into my tank. Imagine how much MORE gas they could sell if they lowered their prices to an amount anywhere even NEAR the going rate in SD.
Allow time to fill up elsewhere — keep on driving.

We got stuck buying gas at this horrible establishment bc we borrowed my girlfriend’s grandfathers car. What a waste of money. Don’t ever shop here.

Yes, yes… this gas station is exorbitantly expensive. It makes sense as it is the quintessential model of supply and demand. This is the only gas station I have seen on the island, so of course they get to name their own price. I’m not necessarily defending the anal raping prices, but even my dumas can understand the economic principle behind this nonsense.
What really pisses me off about this place is that though it is the only gas station on the island, their hours are from only 7am to 11pm, which includes the self serve pumps. Oh yes, these pumps are locked up when the hours are not between 7am-​11pm. For someone who has to be at work at 6:30am and who has on more than one occasion been surprised by the empty gas light while coasting over the bridge, this does that someone (me) no good. Why exactly are these pumps locked up? Doesn’t Coronado have a negative crime rate or something?
So in summation, not only are the prices riding your ass, porn style, but they F you in the convenience factor as well. Suck it, Valero of Coronado.

I work at Naval Station North Island, and I would have to be very desperate for gas to pay the NEIMAN MARCUS price they have displayed at this station. Even when there prices were very low some time ago, this station still had there prices above the City average. Unless you are in dire strait for gas, please go elsewhere,.

Why is gas always SO much more expensive in Coronado? It’s not fair!
This Valero is convenient because it is on the corner of 4^th Street and Orange Ave. So, it’s right on your way out of town. Do your self a favor though… drive over to SD and save at least .40 cents per gallon.
What a rip.
I think they have a service station in the back that they don’t use. Waste of space, eh?
