Shell Gas

Quick and easy to get into and to get gas. The price was reasonable.

I actually like this gas station quite a bit because it’s closer to where I usually end up staying near State St (the other one is all the way down at the other end …) and they have a very convenient drive up area on Chapala near major shops. That, paired with the fact that the gas is not astronomical makes this a good place to stop when you’re running low after doing a road trip to Santa Barbara.
The gas station only has about 4 pumps, and one of them is consistently out of service but at least the other three are fairly fast. I really have trouble waiting for really slow pumps and often don’t fill up all the way since it takes like 10 minutes to do 10 gallons or something.
There is a nice little Seaside Market attached to this Shell with all the expected amenities you would want in a convenience store.
