Gas station scam today.

[BRT]

So, at which station did the OP's problem occur?

The one way up there that Margarite warns about.

Way up where? There's no gas station in the north part of the island.

Way up the streets into the big numbers at outskirts of town. Inland on the tourist loop road. Pemex gas on Ave Juarez between 90 y 95th. Might be the first gas station coming into town if you drove the island counter clockwise.

I.e., the wrong way.

You mean staying on the land? Agreed.

I like the loop counter-clockwise since it allows some beautiful ocean views from the old road, heading south from Caleta. Do miss grabbing a torta from Camaron Dorado...

I'd read about that station in the newspaper. Some federal gas station review found fraudulent activity there, too. Didn't get the "up" reference and wanted to be sure there wasn't another I need to avoid.

I've had problems with the station discussed above. If you make the loop counter clockwise it's the first one you come to as your coming back into San Miguel Swiped credit card then stated the machine not working. Paid cash and had the credit card charge show up as well. Disputed it with CC company and did not have to pay twice.

Northside of the transversal road? There is one on the south side of the tranversal road too now right? Which is technically the first one? I only made one Mesquilitos run last time.

 

[Pelagicsal]

The newer one on the southside is the problem one.

We like going clockwise. We are usually at Mescalito's about the time it opens; many times we are their first customers of the day. I can usually hook the ring on my 10th try or so.

The biggest improvement on the "wild side" is Punta Morena; it has replaced Chen Rio as our customary lunch stop, in part because the flies are so bad at Chen Rio. For many years Punta Morena was practically a ruin but the new management has poured a lot of money into the place and their whole fried fish is every bit as good as Chen Rio's.

As you maybe can tell from my avatar, I am a Solar Guy. Punta Morena is powered by an off grid PV system. Cool.
