Where's your pit stop gonna be?










I've met a surprising number of people who are passionate about their preferred gas stations. I'm totally one of them.

I was a Speedway man for a long time, and they still have one of the best rewards point systems of all time. But they closed most of the Speedy Cafes down, and the ones near me have gotten ratchet for some reason. I've gotta hand it to Pilot now, their coffee is so damn good (especially for the price).

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Just realized that I snubbed Casey's, damn. Their pizza is legendary.

Literally the only one I've heard of is Speedway.

Wawa w/ an honorable mention to sheetz

Although a lot of these things are regional so this poll is more of a what part of the country are you from

Yeah, I tried to cover a wide spread of regions - Huck's for the Midwest, QuikTrip for the Great Plains, Holiday for the PNW, etc. Then I threw in some (...I think?) nationwide options like Circle K and Pilot.

Ten poll options can only go so far, though!

There are several QuikTrips around me (DFW Metro), and a much smaller number of Circle K, but I've never seen any of the rest of these outside of when I was travelling.

All of the Circle K locations I've been inside were basically worse 7/11 though.

since there was zero consideration for intl options... here it's probably... hm, Z probably. hardly the one i'd go to the most (there's like 6 petrol stations in my town and it's typically the 3rd cheapest at best even with vouchers) but generally speaking they tend to have the best facilities, actually traveling around the country and all.

Oh man, how did I leave 7/11 off? For shame, Bosco, for shame...

Their food is surprisingly good. Definitely helped me get through an overnight DFW layover.

I pledged my allegiance to Speedway 7 years ago when I started commuting 30 miles to a job and they had one just off my exit. I've been accumulating Speedy Rewards points and hoarding them like super potions this whole time. I've literally never redeemed a single point.

But now I'm in quarantine and I never drive anywhere but there's a Circle K in walking distance, so I've adapted.

It used to be either Loves or Pilot I liked the best, but since some other ones started adding cold brew or iced frappuccino machines, it's switched to those ones. It's inconsistent, but I think I usually find them in AM/PM or 7-Eleven, or the Terrible's (or Rebel's?) gas stations in Vegas.

100% Casey's.

And I don't blame you for snubbing them, they only exist in like 12 midwestern states.

I live in St. Louis and only know of Circle K and QuikTrip.

Can't remember the last time I stepped foot in a Circle K. Everyone here loves QuikTrip because it's clearly superior.

I wish you didnt combine regular gas stations with travel centers, because theyre pretty different.

Anyway, Loves is my favorite.

Usually a huge selection, at least one attached restaurant, and good prices.

I agree. Last time I was in QuikTrip territory, they had an exclusive cherry Surge in the fountain. That instantly won me over.

everybody has heard of only a couple because these businesses are super regionalized, which also likely makes this poll just a weighted geographical survey of B8ers

Yeah thats why gas stations / travel centers should be split.
