76- Propel Biofuels Inc

Looking for a place to fill up on e85? Flex fuel? Check this place out! The cashiers are awesome and on pace with the flow of traffic ! Also there’s great deals on cigarets compared to other local stores!
P. s. This place also has an inexpensive car wash 7,9, or 10 $ !! Come check it out !

Welp. I stopped in to use the «new» car wash… but it broke while I was driving thru.
Not exactly the best experience, driving down the road covered in soap, haha. But luckily, the cashier was really nice and helpful, so it was easy to laugh it off. Pretty sure I won’t drive thru this car wash again though.

My 335d loves this diesel HPR. I come here for all of my gas. I even used to get e85 here. It is clean has great prices and is centrally located.

This is a solid location, my receipt reads «Propel Biofuels Inc» not «76»
It’s near a nice area with lots of businesses and right off/​near highway/​freeway on/​off ramps.
It’s near the local Airport too.
It’s convenient logistically and has a convenience store inside.
The staff is friendly and they have a single bathroom inside that’s clean, so was nice to make a pitstop here.
If ever needing gas and in the area, I’d come here, especially if I need to use a restroom too.

I often stop here for biodisel — the pumps are new and always in service. Great location, too — fairly close to freeway entrances.

Super expensive. $ 4.49 for premium, the switch to have it full up without holding the nozzle was broken, plus no receipts at the pump.

This place is horrible when it comes to filling up your propane tanks! This cashier (girl) said I had to wait for an hour to get them filled. That’s ridiculous! I seriously want to call the manager and ask about their propane tank filling policy!!! I believe they have to just lock the store up for 5 minutes while filling them up but this girl refused to and made me feel like I’m not a customer… she said «I have to take care of all these customers first»…hello??? Am I not a customer??? Rude and very unprofessional! I feel like no matter what your job title is you should always provide the highest quality customer service!!! Don’t go there!!!

Propel Fuels is the place to go! Cheap! With both E85 & Bio-​diesel, plus other grades at the 76 sta. This station just off Convoy & Kearny Mesa, south of the Balboa /​163 exit or north of the Mesa College Dr. exit ⁸⁰⁵⁄₁₆₃ then north on Linda Vista Blvd that transitions into Convoy! Easy in & out! and In & Out up the street as you get back on to the freeway if you need some hot food!
Store for other items, too. Wash also! So get you life fueled up, cleaned up, aired up, watered up and ready for the road!!!

Ok seriously… I went here to get gas the other day… and 3 of the pumps were out of service and for another one you had to go inside to pay. I don’t remember how many working pumps there were, but that’s no bueno!
Two other drivers and I were making U-​turns around the gas station trying to find a working pump. Now that I think about it, it was kinda amusing. One of the drivers gave up the search and left.
Note to 76 station owner: please fix these pumps!
Anywho this station also has alternative fuel, so if your car takes ethanol or biodiesel, this is the place to go!

This is the only flex fuel station I have seen ever. Maybe because I don’t need this type of gas? They do sell the normal gases too.
Convenient location at the corner or Kearny Mesa Rd and Convoy St and this place never seems to get busy.
The mart is stocked enough with your typical snacks, drinks, and lotto.

I’m glad I stopped by to sign up and got a $ 10 Propel gas card.
There’s not many gas stations in town that offer alternative types like ethanol and biofuel. I didn’t even notice until I saw some folks set up a temporary booth at the street corner. I drive a flex fuel vehicle that uses E85, so I pulled up to learn more.
Using ethanol burns cleaner for fewer CO2 emissions compared to petroleum fuels, but E85 can burn relatively faster. So all things being equal, you may have more visits to the pump, but the price/​gallon is cheaper. It may balance out, unless you’re a lead foot, but at least you’re less of a gross polluter.
All I can remember of biofuel is from watching a documentary. Some guy converted his engine to run on biofuel and had the means to process his own biofuel at home… or barn. Whatever. He basically went around town to collect used deep fryer oil from restaurants to make his own biofuel. Here’s a idea that might work for some food truck owners: use your own fryer oil and entice customers with your exhaust smelling like either fries or rolled tacos as you motor down the road.
The number of alternative fuel stations will increase as more flex fuel vehicles hit the road. If only FFV got a free pass like electric cars through the diamond lanes. I like the opportunity to reduce smog, depend less on foreign oil, and create more domestic jobs that the alternative fuel industry provides, so I’ll try to hit up these stations when it’s conveniently possible. This could be an easier 2014 resolution to keep than going to the gym regularly.

Great customer service. The Station now has flex fuel available.
