Good site - does anyone know what the colored symbols mean? Or lack of symbol?

Click on the station's number and you get an explanation of the red, yellow green symbols, and the number of "denuncias" received for that station.
Loreto has two stations on the list, both with green lights! They are good! Nevermind they have more denuncias than any station I've looked up so far.
There is a red light for a station in Santa Rosalia. Could it be the infamous Santa Rosalia station we've heard so much about? But it's listed under
"La Paz."
Fun site, thanks for the link. Reliable information? You report, we decide.

As reported by twogringos
| Quote: | REAL price of fuel in La Paz
BajaCactus reported the posted fuel prices at the PEMEX stations. As we all know, the price of fuel is set by the government and is the same all over
Mexico. Over the last two months I have surveyed the accuracy of the pumps in La Paz. Based on the price of Magna at $2.36/gal., here are the results.
The data are listed in the format
Station #, location, actual liters indicated per gal., REAL price
8265;Abasolo & Encinas;4.46;$2.78
1693;Abasolo & 5 de Feb.;4.38;$2.74
6900;Colosio & Toronja; 4.35;$2.71
1683;5 de Mayo & Serdan;4.84;$3.02
5064;Abasolo & Mar de Carib.;5.02;$3.14
5895;Forjadores & Libramiento;4.31;$2.69
8875;City Club;4.50;$2.81
????; San Juan de Los Planes; 4.35;$2.71
Note that the pumps at 1693 and 8875 were new and used less than a week when I measured them.

Are you getting those 'dollars per gallon' figures due to just pump flow error (22 or more litres going into a 19 litre can) or also dollar to peso
exchange given (10 pesos to the dollar instead of 11 or the current bank rate)?

Hmmm...Id say yes. 
looks like you could fit an extra 2 liters in your 18.9L (5-gallon) gas can at that station.
