Dairy Road Shell

This gas station is very run down. About half of the pump handles has plastic bags over them and did not work. We had trouble with our card and it took forever for the attendant to run it in the kiosk.
There are other gas stations around, I would recommend passing on this one. Definitely not a typical Shell station. In CA, they are always very clean and operational.

So, after cleaning out the wallet at a resort, where do you go?
Well, besides being a gasoline station, they also have a small convenience store ala 7 – 11 which offers a good selection of junk food, sodas, and drinks.
What drew me here was actually a small section of take-​and-​go hot foods that basked under heat lamps.
Running a bit late for our flight and not knowing how long the Costco gas line was, I pulled in here expecting just to get gas. I ended up packing a snack and meal for our five hour flight home.
My choices were a loco moco bowl (
) and a spam musubi (
)… how can you go wrong with that?! Were they the best I’d ever have? No… but, hey, it sure beat munching on an airline snackbox for about the same price. And it was easy to pack for the plane.
For a quick bite when you’re pinched for time, this works.
If you have a little more time, then you might want to hit the Zippy’s down the street.

For those visitors returning their rental car, this place is about as close as you can get to the airport. Not many islands, but easy to pull in and out of.

5 stars for offering a Kama’aina reward card for fueling up at any of 5 Shell Ohana Stations. You earn credit towards free gasoline with every purchase.
–1 star for the craziness of trying to get out of the parking lot without a signal to protect you from traffic in either direction on Dairy Road.
+.5 for all of the selection in the market and +.5 for having an attendant outside too.
P. S. for those interested, the Road to Hana stand is in the same parking lot.
(they also listen to 92.5 here on the loud speaker so that’s nice :))

The one thing I don’t care for about this Gas Station is how it’s set up to get into it from Dairy Road. Whoever set it up has an ass backwards way of thinking… hit the Tesoro more down the street. its setup better…

On my multiple trips to Maui, this is ALWAYS a stop. First time it was for the Craig Hendersen «Driving the Hana Coast» Hana CD Tour with the Haleakala Crater CD with DVD and map.
Second time I came to Maui, I brought the CDs with me but remembered some of the rest stops on the Hana Hwy were out of toilet paper the last time so of course I stopped by the Dairy Rd Shell and picked up a roll.
Lastly, we got gas both times. Nothing much more to say about this place except it is convenient

Picked up Craig Hendersen «Driving the Hana Coast» Hana CD Tour, $ 20. CD, DVD, pamphlet map.

Forget to fill up your rental car before returning it to the airport? Well, stop here. It’s a gas station. This is where you go to put fuel into cars.
Again, I find myself in the untenable position of trying to rate a gas station. Well, this one is fine. The gas was sufficiently wet and smelly, and it made the car go. They take American Express. The gal who took my card smiled. Somewhere in the distance, a dog barked. A child in Oaklahoma finished watching «Die Hard» for the fourth time. Time moved on.
