How far is it from LA bay to San Felipe? Is there gas available on the way? I know they used to sell gas rancho grande in Gonzaga. It's been 15 years
since we drove it last.24baja - 2-26-2014 at 09:37 AM
Rancho grande was selling gas when we drove thru after new yearsDavid K - 2-26-2014 at 09:37 AM
About 200 miles Steve... Top your tank at L.A. Bay and you can make San Felipe... there is a Pemex station across the highway from Rancho Grande
(Alfonsina's Pemex) and one in Puertecitos (take paved side road into town).PaulW - 2-26-2014 at 01:03 PM

If the PMEX is abandoned and if in a panic situation go into Rancho Grande store/restaurant and ask for gas. They have a pump behind the store. Had to
use it a couple of times after driving a lot of the back country thereabouts.

Steve: Went thru last week and Pemex did not look open at GB. Rancho will have it along with Sanka.........freediverbrian - 2-26-2014 at 03:59 PM
Even when the pemex in GB is open, it looks closed , check inside. No one stays out side. They stay in the store / officeDavid K - 2-26-2014 at 04:46 PM

This.. and (in the past) they close for Siesta (2-4 pm)! Viva Baja!
Seriously, I hope you have at least a 200+ mile range in what you drive... No need for gas between L.A. Bay and San Felipe if so.

There is usually gas at Chapala (where you turn off Highway 1 onto a gravel road). There is also usually gas at Rancho Grande, and usually at
Puertecitos. Get it when you can (ok, probably not at every stop).Marc - 2-26-2014 at 08:24 PM
