Growing up in Escondido this was always a go to gas station for me. When I am in the area visiting family in Escondido I try to stop here for gas before going home and I like that it is easier than trying to wait in the Costco gas line so it is normally quicker. The price here is typically some of the best I can find and always a plus when you have a discount for cents off because of all of the shopping I do at Vons. read more

Being part of the Vons Rewards program is beneficial for getting a discount for fuel here. Lots of pumps available to access. Because of the current fuel market, prices are way up and lines are way down. This is a self-serve fuel station with the exception of disabled customers who can get assistance by honking their horn. The area is well lit and clean. Access off Felicita Avenue. There's a tiny convenience store for drinks and snacks. read more

Location for this gas station is close to freeways and tome of the main veins through Escondido. Pricing is competitive to Costco and easy to enter and exit the fuel station and lots. Huge perk if you also shop at vons to get a discount on gas, considering gas prices these days. read more

$200 hold for credit/debit which is not only beyond absurd but is probably twice as much as what it cost most people to fill up their tank. Hold on your card is meant to ensure there is enough money there to pay the bill at the end. If the old is twice what you would typically pay that is just a scam. read more

Mainly because of fuel costs and Vons discount pricing this is where I usually try to fill my tank. It is cheaper than most, including Costco, and while there can be a short wait in line sometimes, it's not too bad. read more

Multiple stations chip readers do not work. Several times I have been here I have to pump hop to find one that the tap to pay works & I refuse to put my card in with so many security issues. I gave this station 1 more chance since it's convenient, but it defeats convenience if I have to play a guessing game to find a pump I can actually pay at. Ended up leaving not getting gas to go somewhere else & that's exactly what I'll be doing from now on. Going literally anywhere else. read more

Over the last several months each time I've gone in either the chip reader doesn't work. You have to go inside. They run it as a credit card they make you pay the card price instead of the cash price... Today the buttons kept blinking and wouldn't let me choose, which kind of fuel I wanted to use then I moved forward and the next pump didn't have the chip reader enabled so it's just a big cluster fuck. Don't bother. read more

CAUTION: Our CC number was stolen right after using this gas station yesterday 2/6/25. We've been going here for years.

This gas was cheaper than all the ones I've been to lately. I'll definitely be back! It's lit at night with lights and there are tons of pumps so lines move faster if there are some. I came on a weekend day and it was not busy at all. read more

This is the best fuel option in Escondido for consistently cheap gas. Plenty of pumps too, 14 in all. This location is easier to navigate than the PB Vons gas, because you can't drive through the lanes at that one to get to empty forward pumps. The downside to this one is a little bit of difficulty accessing the left outside pumps when the tanker is there delivering. They also seem to close fairly frequently for testing. The price is comparable or sometimes even less than Costco, and shorter lines most of the time. With the Vons gas discount, it saves you even more. It's super empty really late at night, if you're paying by credit card. The store is closed that late, so no cash. read more

Have to give them props. You can get money off for buying groceries, which I'm already going to do so nice to get a kick back. I used to go to US Gas down the street but they started charging extra for debit which is stupid. Especially since prices are so high. Vons doesn't do that. They want to help and not take advantage. I appreciate it. Thanks Vons. read more

Vons Fuel Station - Climbing costs - Gas Stations Near Me - Escondido, California

It's a gas station, is it really a 4 star experience? No, of course not! However this place almost always has THE lowest prices on fuel, they are normally the same or lower than Costco in San Marcos... plus they are on the way home for me from work which is a big plus! The Pros: Long Pump hoses people! You can pump fuel from either side of your vehicle.... and while the lines "can" tend to be long here, they move along rather quickly, 14 pumps thats a decent amount. Again long pump hoses, which leads me to the cons... The Cons: I don't think that people are aware of the LONG PUMP HOSES!!! I have had a lot of issues with the card reader here, I thought that it was my atm card so I ordered a new one and tend to have the same problem, however if I am patient with the pump it seems to work a bit better. I have noticed more and more that there is a pump coned off, but normally it seems to be just one out of the 14 so, not bad! The are of the parking lot with the gas tends to be a mess and can flow out on to the street at times. Never had a negative experience with any of the employees here, have had a few with patrons however, as it seems that people tend to wait in line here when there are 2 empty pumps ahead of the car they are waiting for, I can only assume they are waiting for that specific pump? read more

IMO, kind of a distance from the freeway. However, if you're in the area, by all means, it's worth the trip. No matter what, I'll always be jipped for my gas. I used Andy's info to get a couple cents off of my premium gas, which helped fill up $42 worth of my tank. With the mere 3 cents I saved per gallon, I figured it would have been the same had I just gotten off the freeway and gone to the nearest gas station ??? We came close to 10p, and the area is a little sketchy. Be mindful when you go, esp at night. read more

This is probably one of the best places to get gas in Escondido because the prices are reasonable, and it does not take forever like the lines at Costco. Don't get me wrong, this is a popular place to get gas. So, there can be a little bit of a line. SLOW BUT CLEAN The pumps are not really that fast, but the prices are better than most around. The staff is pretty nice inside the little store and they are efficient. The store was clean inside, as was the outside. Even though I did not see any bathrooms, it looked like the trash by the pumps was recently taken out...in the middle of the day?! Good Job! POINTS? When you use your phone number associated with your VONS club card, you might get points. However, I don't think anyone really knows how the points at VONS works, but there has to be some reason for putting your phone number in at the pump. LOCATION I go here when I'm getting off the freeway on my way home from work. When traveling North on the 15, you can easily exit at Center City Pkwy, and you will see it on your right, just before Felicita Pkwy. You need to drive a little bit into Escondido, but its not too far. Overall, I will go back because their prices are reasonable, it is clean, and it has a good location. read more

Vons Fuel Station - 1/12/19 - Gas Stations Near Me - Escondido, California

My go to gas station as it is on the way home (convenience), but generally has the lowest prices and can even be lower than Costco on occasion. Plus if you shop at Vons you can earn a discount at the pump. I really like the fact that they have long hoses and you can fill up on either side; however, lots of people don't seem to notice that and the lines tend to be long. The lines although long almost every time I fill up, do move pretty fast. I rarely go into the little store, but when I have the employees have been nice. The location in the parking lot is terrible and people often don't leave enough space to drive through the driveway, but there are a few different exits. The fours stars are for the price and the long pumps... I almost gave it a 3 due to poor planning on the layout of the driveway to gas pump, but it's more the people who cause most of the problems. read more

Cheapest gas in the area. Additionally, it's easy to get in and out of and usually has MUCH shorter lines (or often NO lines) than some other popular membership driven 'cheap gas' stations. There is a 10¢/gal discount for using cash - and at this station debit cards are counted as cash (just make sure you select debit/enter your pin instead of credit in the menu). Using your Vons Club card will get you an additional discount - at least 3¢ off , but the discount increases based on whether you have any "gas rewards" stored on your account. I don't know precisely how this reward system works, but I assume it's from shopping at Vons - which I don't really do too often (usually $40 or under a few times a month) and I still somehow always seem to have a 10¢ to 20¢/gal discount waiting for me. The base (cash) prices are already the lowest in town, and it's a fun little gamble to find out how much more you'll be getting off. I also love that you don't have to swipe your membership card (lost that thing 10 years ago) to receive the discount, and are given the option to type in your phone # instead. There is a small convenience store in the center island, but it's very limited - which is good because we don't want too many shoppers clogging up our gas aisles, right? There's a full-sized Vons on the other side of the parking lot for that. It's an easy stop from the 15 if you exit Felicita (going Southbound) or Center City (if you're heading north) and has all the other 'quick stop on the way home' stores near by making the stop even more worthwhile if you have a couple different errands to run. read more

Vons Fuel Station is one way to beat the high prices of Gasoline to power your vehicle. I have found fuel prices to be consistently lower than their competitors prices but with added benefit of Vons' Rewards points you can save up to a dollar a gallon from the all ready low posted prices. Each Fuel Station is clean and has plenty of pump positions, which each pump having a long hose to aid in fueling, plus a small convenience store . read more

Guy put my 100 dollars on pump 5 instead of 2. Happened right at shift change so the new guy couldn't identify me. I got lucky that he noticed my money had been put on the wrong pump. read more

If I'm in the area... I'll come here to get gas cuz not only you get 3 cents off per gallon but they take credit card, debit cards (with no added fee for using debit!!!). Star off for the idiotic drivers who don't see that there are more than just that one lane = Don't crowd at the first lane next to the entrance from felicita rd!!! AND BTW, follow the damn arrows...don't try to squeeze into the space in front of me as I'm getting to leave. read more

Vons Fuel Station - 3 cents off per gallon if you are a vons club member - Gas Stations Near Me - Escondido, California

See all

Been here a few times by chance as gas was extremely cheap. You really can't compete with the prices but I can't justify the wait. Some people wait for 20-30 minutes it's almost as bad as Costco. If you shop at Vons then it's worth it as you'll get even deeper discounts with the rewards card. If I lived closer, I'd probably visit more often but since it's out of my normal drive I haven't been in a while. read more

I AM a fan. I am a fan of low prices. This is why I like the gas station at Vons. They do have extremely decent prices on gas. It's like going to Costco, but can be even better if you stack earned discounts on top of the already low price. If you shop at Vons, you get gas rewards... spend enough, you can earn a whole dollar off per gallon, which is pretty good. Of course, I don't buy enough groceries for that, but whatever. The big bummer is that they did away with their 3 cents off per gallon every day promotion that has been there for YEARS. I think it kind of sucks, but then when I think harder and pull out my calculator, I realize that 18 gallons multiplied by 3 cents is a WHOPPING 54 cents. I guess it's not a huge deal. The prices are good, but be prepared. You WILL wait in line. The line will suck. You might even start out your wait on the street. You will have to suck it up and listen to something good on the radio, because this is getting gas at Vons. And, don't cut in front of people because if you do that, you suck, too. Just deal with it and wait your turn. Get your reasonably affordable gas and move on. read more

Really more like 2.5 stars. The extra .3c off is a nice plus, but truthfully, sometimes it is just not enough of an incentive to convince me to deal with the insane amount of traffic at this gas station. There are a couple of stations within a couple blocks who are at the same price as Vons once you apply the discount. Today we almost got hit twice, people were honking, 2 women were fighting, and the man at the pump in front of us was taking FOREVER, because he was too busy picking his nose to push the proper buttons and start fueling. (We took pictures, of course) Bottom line-if they bring back their former .10c off promotion, this will be my only gas station, but until that happens we'll only be stopping here on the rare days we drive by (before 5am) and there are little or no cars. It just isn't worth the wait, and frankly the danger to your vehicle! read more

$2.09/gallon today! Enough said! Yes I went at 5:50am and I was able to fuel up intermediately. Very happy. Now I can drive more often with prices like this! The prices fluctuate a bit, but it's worth it. You do have to use a debit card to get a discount with your Von's Club Card #. Hint, if you go during traffic times, it will be very busy. read more

So is it me?...or am I still in my car waiting in line to pump gas into my car??....it's all a blur at this moment. Obviously it's the place to be to pump gas if your in the Esco area. Everyone who's anyone will be there...all day long. =) Look we all need to get gas to drive our cars sooo...can't really do much about the lines to get it...just bring along a book, kindle, nook, iSomething! or just get on your phone to catch up on your reviews for yelp! (you will have the time!) The gas prices are really competitive for the Esco area, not to mention you get an additional .03 cents off if you have a Vons Club Card! Hey for a typical 20 gallon car....$0.60 is .60 cents!! haha ( I still don't understand why we run around town looking to save $1 or less hahaha...we're just funny like that I guess!) read more

What more can you say about an 0.80 cent a gallon discount? We are VONS Club members and the benefits paid handsomely when we filled up here...$1.69 a gallon? Yes, that was what we paid with the discount as loyal VONS shoppers. Getting in and out of the station was a bit challenging as the pumps are at the far corner of the lot with no direct street access, but the navigation was worth the price. And NO LINES like at Costco. We will certainly be back. read more

Vons Fuel Station - Awesome fuel prices here!!! - Gas Stations Near Me - Escondido, California

A cheap place to get gas in North County. It can get a little crowded and it can get irritating when people don't follow the signs. Best to come very early or very late. When the convenience store is closed, you can still get gas with credit only. read more

Cheapest gas in town and you can get even further discounts if you shop at Vons and pay with your debit card at the pump. Every $100 purchase at Vons results in a 10 cent decrease which saves in the long run. Beware of coming here during peak hours - 3-6pm weekdays or the weekends. The lines will be long and there never really seems to be an exact line. Everyone just sort of files into multiple lines. Best time to go is first thing in the morning between 5:30am-7am read more

The station does get busy, and I had a mouse run by me, but the mouse was cute and the gas is cheap. No real complaints about the station itself, but the parking lot and the placement of the station can make it terrible for people shopping in the shopping center. read more

Well, it provided gas, and that earns it the whole 2 stars. Other than that, it is VERY poorly laid out. When the lines are long (and they usually are), the cars back into the main shopping center entrance and exit, blocking traffic. The machines process VERY slowly. There is no parking for customers who want to pay with cash and/or buy stuff at the kiosk, so their cars are left empty at the pump. UGH. read more

I ALWAYS feed my dependence on foreign oil here when I'm in North County. It is consistently cheaper than Arco and any other gas station in the area AND you get a three cent per gallon discount when you use your Vons Card. They don't ding you for using your credit/ debit card. I hate that there's two prices nowadays, one for cash and one for credit. At least Vons doesn't try to screw you out of more money. Insider tip: Go inside the store to get your Vons card and don't link it to anything. No phone number + no address = no hassle. You reap the benefit of the gas discount without the ridiculousness of Big Brother spying on your penny-pinching ass. read more

Good price always. Next best thing to Costco gas. Just wish the customers were more friendly.

This place has obscenely long lines at all hours of the day just to get the gas. It also has the slowest pay-point machine (it processes my zip code and accepts my card in the time I could've eaten a sandwich) and I just want to bash it in. But I still come back to this station a lot. Aside from having low gas costs, you can get an added $0.03 off by using your Von's Club card. It does not sound like much, but it adds up. Just fill up at 7:00 a.m. or midnight (for fewer lines) or on a rainy day and you should be fine. read more

The only place to get gas and not feel like you're being bent over. Even without the rewards card this place has the lowest prices in town (although the extra money off with the rewards card makes it sweeeeeeeeet). My only problem with this place is how long you have to wait. Not really their fault. Gas prices are ridiculous right now and this is the place to go, so I get it. Come during less peak hours. Do not come right before or after work. read more

Really cheap gas!!! And if you shop at Vons you will earn rewards to receive 10 cents off per gallon. This place is always super crowded though. My advice, go either late at night or early in the morning. read more

Vons gas has good deals especially when you pay with cash or debit. It gets kind of crazy busy here especially when gas prices go up. It's like a super small mini-mart inside if you ever need to get some other items without going into the regular grocery store. The cashier here is kinda blah, but maybe he just isn't having a good day. read more

This place is a hit or miss for the long lines. The price is pretty decent, cash is 10 cents cheaper than paying with credit card.. so opt for cash.. unless you have one of those cards that gives you a million percent cash back on gas or something. I live near El Cajon, but I come up here for work. This is one of the better gas stations around this area that I fuel up at. Sometimes the lines are extra long though, so I debate whether the savings is worth the wait, but other times it's not so bad. The people working inside the fuel store area tend to be kind of blah. They aren't mean, but they aren't very nice either. But hey, you're here for gas, not for customer service. read more

I went to get gas at the Von's gas station and I put the pump on automatic and it did not shut off! So it overflowed out of my gas tank! I go to pull it out and it spilled all over me and on my face! I asked a fellow customer to call the cashier because I've never done this before and wasn't sure if there was a procedure. The guy comes out and looks more annoyed and said to put the pump handle away and that I needed to move my car so he can clean the area. I told him I got gas in my eyes and all he said was to grab some paper towels as he walked back in the store. I luckily had some wipes in my car because how are dry paper towels going to clean gas out of my eyes?! He comes back out and tries to hand me dry paper towels but my eyes were stinging and I was so annoyed that I just looked at him. I asked what I should do about the extra gas coming out of my car and he just scoffed at me like I'm an idiot (sorry dude that I'm not an expert with cars...) He said, that's what happens when you over fill your car. I explained I didn't do it on purpose, that I had it set and it didn't stop like it normally does. I thought if I explained this that maybe there was something wrong with the pump so that it won't happen to someone else. He scoffed at me again, and by this time with my eyes burning I was getting really pissed off because this guy was not helpful or sympathetic, he just wanted me out of the way so he could probably get back to whatever he was doing. I got in my car and just stared in disbelief that this guy acted that way. He laughed at me again and asked if I was going to move. I shook my head and was getting in my car, then I thought I better ask his name. He gave me his name jokingly and I shook my head again, called him a prick under my breath, and got in my car. My eyes kept burning and I was tempted to drive over to the grocery store and talk to the manager in person but I wanted to get home and wash my eyes out. I had to drive home with the windows down because I spilled so much gas on myself. Guys name was Kurt G. I don't know if that's really his name but he wore an orange and black bandanna on his face. Called the manager after I washed my eyes, but he said I should call tomorrow for 2 other managers. Said the guy would be retrained properly because he should have had me wash my eyes at the eye washing station. Which that's what I thought they would have in the first place. ‍‍ read more

Although I don't live close to this particular gas station, I highly recommend it to anyone living in inland north county San Diego. They generally have some of the lowest priced fuel anywhere! The hoses are long enough to reach to either side of most vehicles so you don't always have to line up on the side where your gas tank is located. That's always a good thing since you could get stuck behind multiple SUV's gassing up and they tend to take longer than an average sized passenger vehicle. Also important to know is that you pay the same price for cash or credit. Lastly, if you regularly shop at Vons, accumulate your points because they offer discounts for gas. I've gotten up to $0.50 off per gallon before. Totally worth while because every little bit helps! read more

Cheapest gas I know of. Maybe there is a hole-in-the-wall gas station that sells watered down gas for less, but I wouldn't put that in my car. There is almost always a line, but it moves quickly. The hoses are extra long and reach both sides of the car so pick the shorter line even if the pump is on the opposite side as your gas tank. There is a "10¢/gal" discount for cash. Really this is Vons way of charging credit cards more because Visa does not allow merchants to charge more for credit cards. I have always dislikes using my debt card because if it is stolen banks will literally take months to get your your money back because it is your money. Not theirs. Credit card companies will reverse charges in one short phone call. Using your Vons Club card NO longer gives a standard 3¢ discount. However if you shop at Vons you can earn gas discounts. I usually shop at Trader Joes and Costco so I rarely get discounts. I stopped typing in my number because it's an added delay. read more

Gas is always cheaper here, which is why it's usually crowded, but the line moves along well. My only complaint is that a homeless guy with a shopping cart was sexually harassing me, in ear shot of an attendant and he didn't do anything to help me/divert the man from doing this. I was super uncomfortable, but got gas anyway. I wish they would have noticed/cared. read more
