fuel station
Where cars refuel
A fuel station is a place where vehicles stop to refill their tanks—gasoline, diesel, or increasingly, electricity.
The term is slightly more formal or international than *gas station* (American) or *petrol station* (British): We pulled into a fuel station just before the tank hit empty.
Fuel stations typically also sell snacks, drinks, and basic automotive supplies.
