About

The Chevron station at 540 La Costa Avenue in Encinitas dispenses Techron-additive gasoline in regular, midgrade, premium, and diesel grades at the westbound La Costa Avenue exit off Interstate 5. Chevron's Techron additive carries Top Tier certification — an independent fuel-quality standard requiring higher detergent concentrations than EPA minimums — a formulation that reduces intake valve carbon deposits on the direct-injection engines maintained by shops like Complete Car Care Encinitas along the Encinitas corridor. The attached ExtraMile convenience store stocks grab-and-go food, beverages, and automotive essentials, and the fuel island includes a tire air pump and propane exchange cage. SNAP/EBT acceptance at the convenience counter distinguishes this location from most competing fuel stations in the 92024 ZIP. Replacement wiper blades, coolant top-off jugs, and emergency fuses for I-5 travelers are stocked alongside the convenience inventory, with heavier parts needs routed to NAPA Auto Parts on El Camino Real. The diesel island dispenses Chevron Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel meeting both EPA Tier 3 and California Air Resources Board fuel-quality regulations for all CARB-compliant compression-ignition engines.
