Q.
When did we see it on the show?
A. In Episode 1, of Season 7, "Are You...?".
Dexter is speeding through traffic in Miami, heading to the Miami International Airport, when he notices that he's almost out of gas.
So he pulls into a gas station and tries to fill up.
But
when he swipes his credit card, he gets a "declined" message at the
pump. He tries several other cards, but they are all declined.
(Dexter doesn't realize it yet, but crazy Louis has hacked his credit accounts and closed them all.)
Eventually, Dexter resorts to simply using cash, which he pulls from his "getaway pack" in the trunk.
Then he hits the road again.

A. They stayed close to home for this one.
This was shot at a 76 Station at 4700 Beverly Blvd., in Hollywood.
That's at the southwest corner of Beverly and St. Andrews Place, about a mile southeast of the Sunset-Gower studio where Dexter is filmed.
Here is a Google StreetView of the gas station:
Here is an aerial
photo of the station. And here is a map
link.
Q. How the heck did you figure out where it was?
A. In the early seasons, I usually had to hunt down the locations after viewing the episodes,
using clues from the various scenes. By the now, though,
I've developed a small group of fans, spies & tipsters who kept an
eye out for Dexter filming in their neighborhoods, and would let me know
in advance when something was about to film there.
Between those reports, my own personal reconnaissance around town, and a
few new resources I discovered, by the time the first episode airs, I
already know most (but not all) of the filming locations, and only
need to watch the episodes and match up the scenes with the correct
locations.
This group of helpful fans includes Rick, Ellen, Elaine, Mia, Joel, Susan, Eric, Jeff, Kerry & others. My thanks to all of
them.
I had a few different sources for this one, including Rick, and some photos online that were shot at the station during the filming, and posted on DexterDaily.com.
(Thanks, Rick!)
