ABE Gasoline

Abe’s is a necessary evil. It’s usually the cheapest station in this area. Not even just the immediate surroundings, often Abe’s is the cheapest in the whoooole area.
However, the other reviews are right about the condition of the pumps/​station. It’s so run down, and the pumps often don’t work. Today the first pump I pulled up to had a sign saying out of order, but the second one was broken too. It didn’t have a sign so I had to pull around and wait for another pump to open up. The buttons on the gas are stripped from use. It’s generally just dirty and run down. The owner has responded to a review here, so surely he’s aware of the general state of disrepair of his business.
Sometimes I think due to the inconvenience, dirtiness and unreliability I may avoid Abe’s, and then I never do…

I would think twice about going to this gas station even though they are the cheapest in the area. Not all the pumps work properly and the ones that did work only the 89 grade worked. And it’s not posted so you have no idea until after you put your card in the machine. Plus the guy behind the counter could care less. I definitely will not be going back to this gas station.

actually, no stars, no stars, no stars.
why you ask?
check the pump on 1 gallon of gas compared to the dollar amount, ie $ 2.49.
it does not match, and i mentioned this to several employees, (of which the cashiers office smells like an outhouse) and none of them seemed to care.
their typical answer? «i’ll let them know».
that was 2 months ago. got $ 10 yesterday, still the same!
they are ripping people off and laughing all the way to the bank.

Inexpensive gas. Station is old and no frills. There is a mechanic on duty. I haven’t tried the mechanic but he appears busy. Services Japanese and German imports. Want best prices for gas? See Abe.

This was THE place I went to to get gas cause of the prices, but then lately, I don’t know, half the pumps don’t work and its kind of confusing on which one works and which one doesn’t. The prices are still good, but I don’t know …

I use diesel. So this is the cheapest gas around except a
in Castro valley is a few cents cheaper. But just about everyone that uses diesel uses 30 – 40 gallons or more and at $ 4 a gallon you need to cough up at least $ 120 but if you use the card slider the pump turns of at $ 85 which sucks. So you have to go in and then guess how many gallons you need and then guess how much you want to authorize on your card because the cashier doesn’t know where his calculator is or doesn’t want to use it. Then go back in when you authorized to much. But it is the cheapest and when it’s .20 cents cheaper at 40 gallons that’s dinner money.

I love this gas station prices, not much to look at but who cares about looks when you are pumping low priced gas. It has about the same if not lower prices than an arco without the surcharge. The only downfall is that you cant pump with a card more than $ 50 at one time. But again who cares when you are getting great prices… Did i mention the great low prices on gas all the time?

The owner of the station gets 5 stars, he is a gentleman, but the 1 star goes to the actual gasoline. Sure, this station is just about the cheapest around, but you DO «get what you paid for». I did some trials and am not pleased with the results. My first test was a 2001 Toyota Celica GT. I filled it full tank and drove to Milpitas with no traffic at all. When I got there, I was already half tank. I drove the car until it was 1 bar left and filled it up with Chevron and did the same test. My fuel gauge went down about 2 bars only! My next test was on a 1990 Mercedes 190e 2.6l. I been using their premium fuel for about 2 years and my car been having A LOT of problems with its fuel system. I thought it was just due to the fact that the car is 20 years old but I noticed I kept on replacing the SAME PARTS (fuel pumps and fuel filter) it has one big filter near the fuel tank and a tiny one right before fuel enters the engine. My car then quit on me by not starting and with several cranks to at least get it to sputter, it would idle so bad. So I garaged the car for about 3 weeks checking the fuel system and taking a closer look at the fuel filters, they were gunked up and had muddy sludge on them. They haven’t even had 5k miles on them yet! I replaced them AGAIN, costing me around $ 300+, siphoned the ABE fuel out and filled it with gumout and chevron. The throttle and performance is way better, it feels like a brand new engine!
There should be a law on how clean fuel is before distributing it to stations.

This gas station looks pretty old and kind of run down. They also close pretty early. But hey gas is gas, as long as it’s convenient, (and it is, right off of mission and easy to turn into) I’ll come here!

Small rickety old time funky looking outdated gas station.
4 pumps
Old rock textured employee shack.
Graffiti all over the pumps.
Place is an eye sore and looks like a dive dump.
This wreck of a gas station is on the corner of Mission Blvd & Lewelling.
Today’s price for regular unleaded gas $ 2.85
