Laurel Pacific Gas in downtown San Diego debuted in 2019 as a ground-up Valero station on Pacific Highway, anchoring the 2499 block with a 3,000-square-foot convenience store and four automated car wash bays. The Pacific Highway position directly beneath the SAN airport approach path makes the station a final fueling stop for rental-car returns heading to the consolidated Rental Car Center, a traffic pattern shared with nearby agencies including ACE Rent A Car in Middletown. The fuel island dispenses regular, midgrade, premium, diesel, and E85 flex fuel, with beer and wine stocked inside the convenience store alongside the standard grab-and-go selection. Four car wash options — express, deluxe, ultimate, and a touchless cycle — run through automated equipment, giving drivers a cleaning tier for every vehicle condition from a quick rinse to a full exterior scrub. Drivers refueling before an airport drop-off often spot highway rock chips on the windshield, and the station's proximity to mobile glass-repair services from WindshieldHUB allows same-day scheduling between a fill-up and a flight. The ethanol-free premium pump caters to small-engine and marine-fuel buyers who need zero-ethanol blends for outboard motors and vintage carburetors.
