The station was there in 1999, but several years passed before it was open for business. Gas was sold from a pump across the way at Rancho Grande before the Pemex opened...

I just did a Nomad search and the earliest mention of the Gonzaga Pemex being open was in March 2004. It later was closed for some permit issue, but not for long.

Between him and Román, yes... better to sell it to the Los Pinos (Rodriguez/ Rancho Grande) folks!

Nice pics, Jim!
If I were to guess the locations:
Valle Chico/ Azufre Wash road; the old main Baja road along Bahía Concepción; Hwy. 5 before blacktop south of Gonzaga Bay; Near Agua Verde????
