There are two stations in the town of Lazaro Cardenas. |
El Rosario |
Yes |
Yes |
Yes |
At the bottom of the hill - north end of town. The station
was completely renovated in 1998. This station is operated by
and individual well-known to the Baja-Internet crowd. It may
well be the most (only?) honest station on the highway. |
Cataviña |
Maybe |
No |
No |
The Pemex pumps are shut down at Cataviña,
however you'll often find gasoline being sold out
of barrels. Be prepared for a significant premium on the price
(20% - 35% above the current Pemex rate).
|
Bahía Gonzaga |
Probably |
? |
? |
As of 2006, there is a station located in Gonzaga.
Do not count on this station being open or having fuel - delivery is very
difficult. Holiday weekends can empty the station's tanks.
Gasoline from barrels is probably available at the Rancho Grande store.
(Thanks to "Mcgyver" for this update.)
|
L.A. Bay Junction |
Maybe |
No |
No |
The old station is closed. The only fuel is sold out
of barrels by local entrepreneurs. Again, be prepared for a
significant premium on the price (20% - 35% above the current Pemex
rate).

Jesús María |
Yes |
??? |

This station has now been completely renovated
(confirmed in December 2004). It should prove a reliable source
for fuel, especially for those heading south who have just
crossed the "Great Gas Gap."
(Important note: the "Tamale Lady" (in her Tamale Van) continues to serve
the eating public! In December 2004, the cost was 10 pesos per tamal.) |
Guerrero Negro |
Yes |
Yes |
Yes |
A new station by the Eagle Monument, and two stations in town.
The station at the Eagle Monument does not sell Premium - only
Magna and Diesel.
Many have reported that the
pumps at one of the stations in town are miscalibrated (in the stations
favor) - this is probably the first station you encounter
entering the town.
It has also been reported that the Eagle Monument station is
owned by the same franchisee as the infamous Santa Rosalia
station. Beware!

Vizcaino |
Yes |
Yes |
Yes |
This station was renovated in 1999. It's a major fueling
stop for trucks, so the diesel should be water free. |
San Ignacio |
Yes |

Yes |
On the highway near the turnoff to town.
Thanks to Bill Kalinyak for an update (Aug. 2002)
|
Santa Rosalia |
Yes |
? |
Yes |
Right on the highway south of the ferry terminal.
Well-known for rip-offs! This has historically been the worst
Pemex station in all of Baja California when it comes to fair
treatment of customers.
I strongly recommend that this station be avoided.
|
Mulegé |
Yes |
? |
Yes |
Two stations: one inside town (not recommended for
RVs due to the narrow streets) and the other about a mile south
of town on east side of the highway.
The highway station has
been a place where donations are sought for vaguely specified
organizations, and I've taken to avoiding it.
It has also been reported that this station is
owned by the same franchisee as the infamous Santa Rosalia
station. Beware!
|
Loreto |

Three stations inside the town (i.e., off the highway). |
