gas station

Roadside pump location

A gas station is a roadside business where drivers buy fuel for their vehicles.

Most also sell snacks, drinks, and basic automotive supplies.

In British English, the equivalent is petrol station or filling station.

We stopped at a gas station to fill up and grab coffee.
