(Filled-up 07/29/17 SA @ 9:00am): I'd circle back here for the inexpensive gas...except you were in…read morethe middle of nowhere! A friend and I were in town for a weekend of fun at the world-famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and found this Circle K minutes away from where we were staying. Located along the main thoroughfare of Pacheco Blvd. in "boonyville", I was surprised at how low the gas prices were since they were still relatively high during this time of year and there weren't competing stations around. I was more familiar with Circle K as a convenient store, but they have been adding gas pumps over the years. If for some God foresaken reason I found myself in this neck of the woods, would I stop by again!?: PURCHASE 87 Unleaded Regular Gas ($32.50): Although the red gas lamp light hadn't flashed on yet, we still had about an hour drive ahead of us up to Gilroy, so it made sense to get gas now...and boy was that a smart idea since the prices we saw along the drive were above the $3.00 range! I cruised in like a boss with no other cars in sight. After 12.13 gallons of gas at $2.67/gallon, I was feeling good and ready to get my garlic on! SERVICE Unfortunately, the pump machine didn't like my credit card, so I went inside only to learn from a kind young woman that their internet was down which affected the card machines. After about 10 minutes, they were finally up and running (I should've pulled out my wad of ones!), I started to fill her up, the pump ran quickly, and before I knew it I was done! With receipt in hand and my co-pilot graciously washed my windows, we were ready to hit the road. I wasn't going to fault them for the downed internet; after all, we were in Los Banos (translated to "the bathrooms")! PARKING (FREE) There were several designated spots in front of the convenient store as well as room near both the price marquee and air/water pump station. Otherwise, there was no need for parking because you simply wanted to pull in, pull out, and be on your way. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A medium-height signage along Pacheco Blvd. was easily viewable from both directions https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=DbFYE-x7AWAgv-fRpViwaQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Attached was a medium-sized convenience store that was incredibly clean, organized, stocked various merchandise, totally lit up by both natural and electric ceiling lights, and had background music, I was completely impressed https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gFtMySv81RP8X5M9ApKXug&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! This spacious gas station was fully covered with designated pump and thoroughfare lanes. It had a total of 8 pump stations (two columns with four pumps each). There were the requisite soapy suds, squeaky squeegees, paper towels, trashcans, and air/water stations ($1.50 for 5 minute usage https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=QVXBiuoyB4jeP1D9m6pXSw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw). Although there were multiple ways to enter/exit the station, I saw no congestion issues. Outside, there was plenty of natural lighting during the day while I imagined bright electric lights flooded the night, but no TVs or background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL This Circle K gas station and convenience store on Pacheco Blvd. was a nice surprise. I didn't recall any Circle K locations in the Los Angeles area that were also gas stations, but I would look out for them now. I wasn't sure what their hours were, appeared to have sufficient lighting, had all the necessary amenities, and prices were very good all things considered. Thankfully, cash and credit card prices were the same; however, I abhorred that they charged for air/water (this was the main factor in my rating). I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $33.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

There's also a convenience store for snacks and drinks and any other needs you may have. There's a restroom in case you need to make a pitstop. Today's prices are $6.57 a gallon.

In addition all the windshield wipers had clean fluid and the squeegees were in good repair. The prices were in line with the surrounding areas. This was a pure fuel stop and we did not venture inside or interact with the staff. However, it is conveniently located and one of the last stops for gas if you are Eastound till you get close to Highway 99.
