I'm going up to Pismo Beach in a few months. Last time I was up there, I had a hard time finding gas stations I could get in and out of without doing an obstacle course. Is there anything between Santa Barbara and Pismo/SLO?

Sign up for a gas card from Pacific "Pride". There are 2 stations disigned to had big trucks. Just go on line.


Will they allow someone who doesn't have a trucking company get a card?


Yes. They want your money. We have noticed Pac Pride is a few cents cheaper than CFN. But it could just be the broker we are set up with. There are more CFN's than Pac Prides. I personally wouldnt bother with the Chevron on Grand its redesigned but still not practical if you have to wait out on the street. There is a 76 and a Chevron (I think) across from the outlets. I think the one of those is a CFN. There is another CFN or PP on the Southbound side of 101 across from Walmart. Whatever that frontage road is.

I found the Chevron on Betteravia so that looks good. I'll check out the Chevron on Grand while I'm there. I'm only 23' so it may not be too bad.
Thanks everyone.

Also if you get off on the Grand exit the Arco on the right is pretty easy to get in and out. I just did yesterday without any problems.

Yes, Pacific Pride is for the general public and/or trucking companies.

In Goleta there is a 76 right by the 101 off of Winchester canyon rd that I stop at to fill up and on the way back I dump my tanks there, they do charge a fee of $6 but it beats not having to wait in line at Pismo to dump. hope this helps.

You can try Gas Buddy, they sometimes have pictures of the stations.

I remember stopping at a newer Chevron with room for RVs. It was at the south end of Pismo. Across from the Outlet Mall on Five Cities Dr.
