Was about $.20gal cheaper few weeks ago. IB gas has only gone about $.10gal. What's that tell ya?
There should be laws against this type of price gouging.. . .
Nice Bike! As for my own mode of transport, when possible, I take the ferry to Broadway, walk over and take the Amtrak to L.A.'s Union Station, walk over and take the subway(s), and get…
Costco is the only way to go. I'd love to support local business, but $3.64 is a bit crazy...
Gas prices as of today at the 76 station on Orange/9th (yes, that is my bike in the photo too - best way to get around the island!).
I guess I should not complain that it is 2.51 here. 3.05 ouch
LOL Right, the line for the gas station for lower prices on top of ALL the summer traffic on fourth street?! As it is the traffic gets bad enough. Good point!
i thought DC was expensive- and we have metro and can really walk just about anywhere-
but we are about $1 less per gallon than Coronado
I would say normally a lower fee and increased volume makes sense. But in Coronado the footprint that the stations sit on is very small compared with other high volume low cost gas stations meaning they literally can't get enough cars through withou…
Wouldn't it make sense to lower the fee thereby gaining more customers through all the visitors as well as the locals?
I am not a big fan of paying more than I have to for anything, gas included. But normally gas stations make money on convenience items (read: Junk food), not gas. Neither of our local stations have enough parking to allow for heavy convenience store…
Having lived here for many years, to this day I don't understand why the two local gas stations charge what they do for a gallon of gasoline. The simple math follows:
Average automobile holds 18 gallons of gas.
18 gallons X (times) average price in…
Mel is absolutely correct, and IB is NOT a high property value neighborhood in general.
It's been my observations that the cost of gas is about location. This seems to be the case in every state I've visited. If the property values are high in a neighborhood the gasoline is going to be high.
The "IB run" saves me at least $8.00 per fill. I don't buy the trucking issue either. $.40 +/- per gallon to drive an extra 7-8 miles? I gotta bridge to sell if anyone needs it.
Appreciate the feedback! A couple comments made in regard to the transportation (delivery) cost of the fuel as the reason for higher prices, doesn't seem to work for me. We have IB approximately 7 miles away -- essentially located in our Nation's So…
So the way to get around the CADOT and the over priced gas charges would be to drive to IB? Makes sense to me. I'm willing to drive the strand to save the money.

Price of gasoline in Coronado. . .
Having lived here for many years, to this day I don't understand why the two local gas stations charge what they do for a gallon of gasoline. The simple math follows:
- Average automobile holds 18 gallons of gas.
- 18 gallons X (times) average price in San Diego @ $3.05 = $54.90
- 18 gallons X (times) average price in Coronado @ $3.56 = $64.08
Yes, I understand the value of our dirt, yet still, it just seems unneighborly. . .
