The best station to get a ride heading east is the YPF on RN 7 just after it crosses Calle Elpidio González (-32.929273, -68.754368), about 9km from the central bus terminal. It is busy with all manner of traffic. You can get there taking a public transit bus heading to Fray Luís Beltrán and San Martín, which pass it right on RN 7. Such buses leave from Mendoza's central bus terminal (Terminal del Sol Estación de Omnibus de Mendoza), right in the centre of Mendoza where the RN 7 and RN 40 meet. The bus will depart from around the bays numbered 50-60. Ask around there to find out which specifically and how to pay your fare: some buses take the local transit payment card, some accept cash to the driver, some sell tickets at the windows there just inside the station. Buses circulating only to that area near certainly exist as well (please confirm!).
Beyond that the gas stations along RN 7 in Fray Luís Beltrán and San Martín are used much more by locals than those going much farther. Parador Guerrero (mentioned above in 'West towards..), about 16 km beyond San Martín, is busier with trucks headed south and west (or was the night and morning [[User: Movethathoof|Moverthathoof]] was there), but with nothing at all around it bringing in local traffic you will also eventually find a ride heading east without too much difficulty. Getting there requires taking a bus to San Martín followed by another bus or a bus to the likes of La Dormida or La Paz (being sure not to pay the full fare that much longer distance!), all of which can be taken from that same central bus terminal (Terminal del Sol Estación de Omnibus de Mendoza).
