Delmar Mobil

On 1−13−16 I parked my car to fill gas and to get a few Powerball lottery tickets (mid afternoon). There were about 10 customers inside the store with the doors locked. While I stood by the door, customers approaching were being met by locked doors and leaving in plain sight. I stood there waiting knowing that someone would soon have to exit. The clerk finally opened the door to let a customer out, and he told me and a group of others, that he was exhausted and needed a break. The kid couldn’t have been more than 25 years of age. How do you close your doors, a few hours before a historical lottery prize?! I’m not sure the owner will be too happy to hear about this one. Poor clerk, poor owner, and poor establishment.

Worst customer services ever… lines take forever, and the gas pump issues. Poor little lady who couldn’t work the pump today she was so confused and clerk wasn’t helpful at all.

I also think that they have the least expensive gas in the area.

Heres how me and Exxon get down in our relationship:
I absolutely refuse to use their gas… but have no problem using the dividends i collect from owning my 7,777 shares of XOM stock to buy gas at cheaper, no name, stations! Thats 7,777 shares at a yearly dividend payout of $ 1.88 per share! Thanks Exxon!
I use Exxons bathroom when i have no other choice, and well, this one was quite clean indeed — especially for the «shower» i took in it the other day! Thanks Exxon!
I see CEO Rex Tillerson and the kids at least once a month for a game of golf and to talk global domination as well as cupcakes and coffee. Dont tell anyone, but i always win the golf match, and definitely dont tell anyone he prefers frisbee golf over the «real» thing!
…and lastly; i go to Exxon to use their «free air» to re-​inflate my BICYCLE tires! Thanks Exxon!
Trader Disclosure: Seven does NOT own any shares of Exxon Mobil, ticker symbol (XOM), nor has Seven ever «showered» in XOM’s bathroom. Seven has though, kicked CEO Tillerson’s ass more than once at frisbee golf!

i am quite committed to getting gas at Costco. but there are times that i am in a bind an can’t make it all the way to Costco… so locally, this is the best choice to put a few bucks in the tank. Most other gas stations around here literally rape your wallet… of course Mobil is more pricey than Costco… but not so bad. Parking lot is easy to get in/out…no need to go in the store b/​c you can pay at the pump (not sure if this is normal for gas stations these days… when i was a kid we always had to walk in and pay). inside has tons of snacks and cheap fountain drink prices… not so bad.
i used to go to ARCO up the street… but i never have cash… so this is my local spot…

I’m shocked I’m reviewing a gas station but thought I should share.
This station has some of the cheapest gas in the area. ARCO down the block which normally is the cheapest has decided during any uncertain times to raise their price 0.10−0.20 and the Arco station doesn’t take credit cards. (I want my credit card bonuses –give me my airlines miles)
Anyways DelMar Mobil is really in Solana Beach but Del Mar is slightly a more expensive city so lots of companies like to say they are in Del Mar but it’s technically across the street.
What’s great about Exxon Mobil is they are a partner in Upromise. This is a bonus saving program. You go to
and sign up. Link all your credit cards and while you are at it get a no minimum, no fee, Sallie Mae savings account which is paying 1.4% right now one of the highest in the country and link it with your Upromise. They will double your Upromise savings.
The Upromise savings isn’t much. It’s adding up to about a .03 a gallon but hey I drive enough as it is and an extra $ 5 at the end of the year for just signing up and using credit cards attached to the account which is then doubled by Sallie Mae for $ 10 isn’t bad for doing your everyday things.
The station here is clean, staff is friendly, prices are decent. Like Brian B said in the other review here if a station is done well no body will notice but poorly we notice. Hence I’ll also review them for being done well.

I think Del Mar Mobil has the least expensive gas around. If you buy something from the convenience store, expect friendly people to offer quick service.
Not much more to say about a gas station. If it’s done well, it’s just not noticeable… it’s when it’s done poorly that we notice.
