W9JIM, on Google Maps at N 32 34.774 W 116 37.833, I see an icon for Remco Petroleum, with address 447 Tecate Road, Tecate, CA 91980; phone (619) 478-9343. (Sat-view indicates that the coordinates are off.) Is that the station you're talking about? If so, you're correct -- it's not in the Master Station List. Note that (as hinted earlier in this thread) it's possible to post a price for a station, even if it's not in the MSL. To do this, use the free-form address field near the top of the page at www.SanDiegoGasPrices.com.

kwzh Champion Author San Jose Posts:20,656 Points:3,684,375 Joined:Jul 2001	Message Posted: Nov 24, 2011 10:59:54 PM Ignore kwzh Report Abuse According to Google Maps, Tecate is in Mexico. If there's a US town with that name, perhaps you could zoom in on a map and tell us the exact latitude and longitude of the gas station, so we can all be looking at the same thing.

Scrapheap Champion Author Virginia Posts:14,551 Points:2,359,805 Joined:Sep 2006	Message Posted: Nov 24, 2011 10:18:31 AM Ignore Scrapheap Report Abuse Access to the Master Station List (MSL) is restricted to people with at least 10K points. Your choices are 1) You could earn 10K points (which can be done in under 10 days for you) and enter it yourself. 2) You could ask someone in your local forum to add it for you. 3) You could go to the station with your android phone with GPS enabled, click on Find Gas Near Me, scroll all the way to the bottom of the stations listed until you see "Can't find a station? Press here to suggest a station". Then follow the directions. If you choose option 3, I'd be curious how long it takes to get the station added. [Edited by: Scrapheap at 11/24/2011 11:19:51 AM EST]

(A) You consult with members local to you by posting in the San Diego discussion group. You posted to the national forum, and most of us have never been to Tecate. (B) You post prices. Yes, you! That's how stations get listed. By people like you spotting prices and sharing them with the rest of the people visiting the site. But, thanks, once again, for providing evidence why new members should not be able to create new topics outside of their local discussion groups!
