“Standard Chevron gas station with normal prices, public restroom, ATM, Air and Water Service, food and snacks, drinks, and parking spots to relax.Located at the base of wood side road heading into the mountains. Good spot if you’re planning on heading to the beach or up to Portola Valley. This is the last gas station before Alice’s. I recommend getting gas here as it’s higher volume than the one in the mountains, so likely cleaner and fresher.Clean facilities, pumps are well maintained, and staff is fast and friendly.”

They weren't able to help me. He directed me to this Valero station. I interacted with three different people in the approximately 15 minutes I was there. Everyone was cheerful, cordial, and extremely helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with people who seemed to really want to be there, including two people who commuted from Davis and downtown Sacramento!

Didn't learn till after the fact but my buddy told me if you take a picture of the propel truck at the pump and post it to propel fuel's Instagram they give you a shout out or something.
