This is the 76 gas station at San Antonio Rd & Middlefield Rd in Palo Alto, CA. I was in the area the other day, and the gas prices were about average so I stopped to top off. It's a typical "gas up and go" type station. There's no food mart, auto repair shop, or car wash. Just wide islands, air/water, and a cashier booth in the center. I didn't ask about a restroom.
Instead of building a food mart, they opted to display snacks, drinks and motor oils right outside the cashier booth. There's even a small ATM in view of the cashier. I guess you can do this in a nice neighborhood.
This is a great location at a busy crossroads. Easy to enter, but easy to exit depends on where you're going. I wanted to turn left onto Middlefield, so I had to wait a bit.
Nice station, nothing special. read more
