    Gas prices as of April 2023
    Jia L.

    This gas station is conveniently located off the freeway exit. There's a lot of space available. They also have vacuum and air pump that takes quarters. If you want to grab a quick bit they have snack stuff like musubi, chips, ice cream, hotdog, and drinks. Staff is friendly and service is good.

    Just stopped by to fill up gas and noticed the new business name. Par Pacific Holdings has acquired Tesoro and 76 and has rebranded as "Hele", which means "to go" in Hawaiian. Previously Tesoro, this gas station of 12 gas pump dispensers has a new look.. Very bright and clean, Hele, just like other gas stations, offers you a better rate if you decide to pay via cash over plastic. Major credit cards accepted here. At the Ewa side for a nominal fee you'll find an air pump for your tires and a vacuum to clean your car. On the Makai side is a large convenience store. With this acquisition you'll be seeing more of Hele around.

    Workers were sweet and patient. The food items switch up a bit and I seem to always miss the (fridge)hotdog buns. But the main thing is the service. It's been a year with maybe 10 visits. Have no complaints.

    During this pandemic and now slowly the economy is coming back including theaters I wanted to get somebody for hes birthday movie tickets. Not all movie theaters are open yet for purchasing tickets only food stuff at certain theaters by take out style. Well thanks to my brother who pass by the Hele gas station and told me that they sell tickets for movies. I was so happy so I decided to go and when I got there the mgr said yes we sell movie tickets but limit to 5 tickets but for me I can order 6. Not really paying to much attention i thought it was a gift card and you can make your own Amount you wanted but out turned out to be tickets just for a free admission to enter and not gift card where you can use for admission and as well for the concession bar. So I decided to get it anyway. I guess free admission to the movies is better than paying. But I wish the theater would open soon to buy gift cards for their theater instead if paper tickets only for free admission

    I drove up to number 10 and parked a bit more forward so that the rear of my car was closer to the gas pumps. I walked into the convenience store and waited in line for my turn. Musubi, bentos, hotdog, chips, soda, donuts are just some of the items I've noticed. The hard boiled eggs sitting on packages of salt and peppers was tempting as I'm an egghead. But I had to resist. I'm here for gas, and only gas. Nothing more. The person in front of me finished up his payment and left. It was my turn. I handed my $30 to the cashier and before I could speak she said, "$30 on 10?". I caught myself in the moment of surprise and replied, "yes please". I knew that she knew I was coming today. But how? Was she a wizard? Was she a prophet? Or maybe she knew I was a Kama'Aina card member. Everyone knows that Hele have Kama'aina discounts on the weekends. 15 cents discount per gallon on Saturday and Sundays only. How could I resist? Hawai'i not cheap. Paradise is expensive. She punched in my dollar gas amount and said, "please slide your Kama'aina card". I slid the card through the card reader and watched with excitement as my 15 cents discount gets approved. She then asked if I wanted a receipt. I replied "no need", like a man saving trees. I walked back to my car, opened its fuel cap, then lifted and put the gas pump right into it. I was then required to select a gas number. I chose 87, as that's the only gas level my life can afford. It's true, my cheap car has never tasted premium gas, and she probably never will. I watched the gallon and dollar amounts go up as 1 refilled my gas tank. At the same time I thought about my bank account and how it was already down $30. I looked at my car and thought to myself, "why can't I just bike to work? Why am I so lazy?" Then I remembered I'm a fat ass. Ain't nobody got time to bike in the morning. I rather sleep more and drive, than to wake up early and bike. Biking is slower. I didn't chose the fat life. The fat life chose me. The gas flowed through the pump as the dollar amount went up on the machine. Then it slowed down after $29 as it neared $30. It happens every time. It's this very moment of ever refill that I suddenly feel cheated on like a dog eating my food when he has his own food. The pumps dont slow down when I pay too much. So I don't see why it slows down when I pay just enough. Is it because I'm not a premium gas man? The flow is just not the full speed flow as it was $28.99 dollars ago. But I never complained. I got Hele Kama'aina 15 cents discount that's why. -1 star for slowdown gas flow

It comes in different flavors and features a different rapper on each bag. This is the only place on the island that I've seen it. We also got a bag of cookies, donut holes and a can of soda. I also saw ready to eat hot items such as nachos, spam musubi, manapua and pork hash. I was tempted to more items, but those snacks were good enough. Make sure to pick up a snack if you're here getting gas.

    Gasoline in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I saw a sign that advertised $4.21 per gallon for regular Gasoline. That's the same price that I paid at Freedom Gasoline nearby. It's about 2 cents less than Costco! I read Bruddah Fran s review for Hele Gasoline... 5-stars... must be a legit place, right? Gotta try it out! I parked at pump #5 and saw that the price was $4.31 per gallon - that must be the credit card price? I went inside the convenience store to pre-pay. I showed the bar code on the Hele Rewards app and got $4.06 per gallon! (The app gives 25 cents per gallon discount!) Wow! After I filled my tank, I went back inside the store to get my change! The cashier said that the balance will go back to my credit card... yay! Note: There are two pumps at each of the four lines. LOCATION: corner of Dillingham Boulevard and McNeil Street, next to the original Popeye's Chicken (which is currently closed) and diagonal from Kalihi Kai Elementary School

They are number ONE in addressing your requirements for repairs to a flat tire. If you require flat tire service and your emergency is either in the Nuuanu/Pauoa area or you live in the neighborhood go to this service bay with your needs. I had the compartment light in my car give me trouble and they serviced me, not sure about pricing, but service is unparalleled. I especially like giving business to "local" vendors whom I trust. Jun appears to be the owner or manager of the service repair operations. It is my understanding that the service repair area is sublet from Richard Chevron. I do find the cashier operation which services the gas station/towing and the service repair more than adequate. If you need to check tire pressure be sure to purchase gas before being given the key to the air/water station and you must leave your drivers license.

Still convenient in location, Still their convenience store is really that of convenience (no frills, just you water, soda and chips type product). Still one of the more expensive places in town. As of today, gas is $ 5.69 regular. $ 5.99 premium, $ 6.29 power premium Bottom line is if you drive, you need gas and you may not find it practical to drive $20 miles round trip to get gas at about $.50 less per gallon. Not sure... stand by I will let you know. I need to do the math now.

My sister and I went out today and I said I need to check Yelp for a nearby car wash. Lo and behold, this Texaco car wash place popped up. I read a few reviews and I decided to try it out. There was about four cars ahead of me. The reviews warned us about the wait time. There is wait that depends on the type of car wash package you select. I estimated @10-15 minutes per car. I didn't know where to pay and I asked my sister to run into the convenience store to check if I needed to pay first. You can pay inside and you will receive a receipt with a code that you enter into a machine that is located near the entrance of the car wash. Or you can pay at the machine as well. Your choice. Pay attention to the instructions and lighted signs! It will guide you into the automatic car wash with ease. It's pretty loud inside so be prepared! Pricing is really great at $10 for the basic- Deluxe Wash, $14 for the premium wash, $17 for the ultimate wash, and $20 for Ceramic shine. See photo for more information. It's an automatic car wash , so be prepared to wipe down your car with a towel after you exit and find a place to park. The dryer doesn't get every spot. If you want air for your tires, vacuum, or water, it will cost you. Bring your coins. Appeared that some features are broken. Overall, a good experience for my old and now cleaned up car!

Sometimes there's a guy that knows you want to use the car wash but he goes really fast, parks his car right outside the wash, takes his sweet time to walk and talk to the people in the booth. Then he slowly walks to the car, waits for I dunno - a few minutes. Then slowly goes in. When his wash is finished, he waits until the entire car was turns off then he slowly moves out. All of this before 6am in the morning. Good morning to all! But then it's my turn. I pay $20, get the ceramic coating etc... etc... and in the end, they fix the problem with the car ripping off my back wiper. They fixed it! Because it didn't wash half of the back of my car. Oh well..... So..... would you take this car wash which is the closest to your house? OR drive to Waipio for a 1 min 48 sec car wash for the same price? Choices.......
