fuel stations
Where cars refuel
Fuel stations are facilities where vehicles refuel—typically gasoline or diesel, though the term increasingly includes electric charging stations.
The phrase is slightly more formal than gas stations and usefully covers all fuel types: The highway has fuel stations every fifty miles.
Also called service stations or filling stations.
