Guys... yes... there is a Pemex station in Abreojos and anytime Pemex is closed there is always an independent source... you just need to ask.

From my 2017 trip report (#5): http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=86781

Punta Abreojos Highway:
Km. 0 Hwy. 1 (Km. 97+) Restaurant Crucero del Pacifico at the junction.
Km. 1 (0.6 mi) Old main road to La Paz (original Baja 1000 road) is crossed.
Km. 43+ Rancho Santa Clara road west.
Km. 73.5 Campo Rene signed road (2.5 mi in).
Km. 75 Another road to Campo Rene joins the previous.
Km. 84+ End of pavement, Punta Abreojos entrance.

Pemex station, car wash, and tire dealer are 1/4 mi ahead, on the right.

The end of the road straight across town ends a mile further near the lighthouse. The popular salt flat road to La Bocana and Bahía Asunción is reached by turning right just past the school on Juan de Barrera street or the next street to the right.

what about La Bocana, San Hipolito?

BajaBlanca - 10-28-2018 at 10:13 PM

La Bocana has a gas pump. It is open from 10 am to 1pm. Then closed for siesta. Open again from 3 to 6 pm.

Abreojos has much longer hours and no siesta time. I believe they open at 6 am and close at 9pm, open every day, very convenient!

is La Bocana a Pemex station?

David K - 10-29-2018 at 07:28 AM

No, an independent pump.

4x4abc - 10-29-2018 at 07:48 AM

about where in town?

thebajarunner - 10-29-2018 at 09:24 AM

Abreojos ain't exactly a sprawling metropolis
When you come into town, there it is.
We filled up there in June and it was pretty much the first place we encountered coming into town from Campo Rene
Asked the guy where was a good place for breakfast and he said Juanitas.
And it was excellent
Gas was good too..

question was about the location in La Bocana

BajaBlanca on 6-1-18 posted a photo of it and said this:

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU SEE WHEN YOU ENTER THRU THE SALT FLAT IS THE GAS PUMP. THEY CLOSE FROM 1 TO 3 PM.

ok

the salt flat is currently NOT used to enter town -there is now a road that is partially asphalted which is used to enter town.

Once in La Bocana. Once on the only asphalted road down the center of town, turn left at a red and white store called Luigi. On the other corner is a green (in 2018) house. On a 3rd corner is a hotdog stand.

The gas pump is on the left at the end of that dirt road.

26°47'55.89"N, 113°42'33.67"W ?

Which side of the pump is the handle on? :biggrin:

BajaBlanca - 10-30-2018 at 03:04 PM

hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I have no idea if those coordinates are correct but I can tell you Harald that La Bocana has a population of 1500. You can ask any man woman or child about "gasolina" and they will probably take you by the hand to get there.

It is a gas pump, it is run by the local fishing cooperative and although it may be a poor excuse for a gas station, we love it!

David K - 10-30-2018 at 11:34 PM

Harald, La Bocana is only about 10 miles from Abreojos... Your G Wagon gets better mileage than that!
