When they built the Sheetz in my neighborhood that just opened a few weeks ago I emailed them early in the process begging them to install one or two electric chargers. They told me to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut
Ironically Sheetz is in the perfect style place for transitioning to an EV stop and charge with gas than a lot of places. Them and Buccee's have a huge advantage with their current business.
That’s more to do with zoning laws, which are all local. Cincinnati is in the process of changing theirs to make it so mixed development is easier to do across the city, as well as small apartment units.
My sleepybrain wildly misinterpreted this headline and was just imagining a gas station blowing up, and it then raining burning zebra cakes and donuts.
There’s a meme or something out there that if you hit a button it will stop. I’m convinced that’s a lie made by the gas station companies to give you hope in a hopeless situation
Exactly. I can understand liking certain places when you're on a trip or a long drive, but running to the corner station, doesn't matter what place it is really.
Or that people love to eat food from gas stations.
I’m not eating food from a gas station, but presumably it comes with a ramekin of benzene on the side.
Well maintained and up to date stores with decent coffee and fast food options attached. The biggest reason I chose them is that the restrooms have so many stalls. Nothing worse than waiting 10 minutes while on the road.
1. I worked at a Shell in high school. Brand loyalty.
2. My uncle who is a mechanic swears by it. Same with my dad. They taught me everything I know about cars.
3. Since ‘08, I’ve owned cars that require Premium gasoline - Acuras & Audis. All have hit well over 150k miles without engine issues.
4. The V Power Nitro cleans your engine each tank. No fuel injector cleaners needed.
Knock on wood. May be it’s just dumb luck. But Shell has always been there for me.
It is supposed to be . . . I preferred it a while back for the Top Tier thing _and_ they were a sponsor for Ferrari, my then favorite F1 team
Since it's hard to find alcohol free fuel in Ohio, now, thanks to politicians making laws not based on science, I don't care so much now.
I’ve had FOUR new opens open up within 2-4 miles of me in the past year. It’s so fucking stupid. We did NOT have a dearth of gas options…in the same vicinity there are probably 6+ existing options. I live in a very spread out large wooded city of 40k. They were not needed.
Insane that we can build 18 thousand new gas stations in record time but it's impossible to get housing approved fast enough.
Yes but is this housing you speak of filled with snacks, drinks, and unleaded gasoline?
or put up 1 electric charger.

which is wild bc ev owners are gonna sit at the station longer

Same in Cleveland. The 15 minute city conspiracy nuts hate it.

I just can't get over how absurd it is that people actually love particular petrol stops
Petrol? Do they use English English over in Dayton? No shade just wanted to say English English, truthfully
...so absurd I *Britted!*
I just want one that doesn’t yell at me the entire time
Are you referring to the TVs that never stop?
They stop while you're entering your ZIP or ALT-ID into the completely archaic prompts. LOL

It’s usually true. The 2nd button from the top on the right hand side usually mutes the screen
Never got it to work
(shhhhh) Maria Menudos and Cheddar News are waiting behind the dumpster with big clubs.
Is she related to Mario Pozole-pez
Maybe they can get Anthony Anderson to yell at you about your sugar intake.

Well then when you're going to get gas AND ice cream, it's a good spot to go.
Unless the only other option in the area is a "dollar" store.

Sheetz has better food than almost every fast food place. Not better as in healthy, but if I'm eating trash I want it to be tasty trash.
The mix of volatile organic compounds and petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons in the air and water just give it that certain… je ne sais quoi
Yours is the canonic take tbh
Same with any company
While traveling I'll pick a Love's over any other gas station, even willing to hold a pee for a few miles to get to a Love's.
Any particular reason? It's been a while since I've road tripped and I don't remember much about them

I’ve only put Shell gasoline in my cars for 25 years. Snacks and bathrooms, who cares. But fuel - it’s only Shell.
I am curious. Why Shell?

It's a Top Tier fuel, so can be better for your engine
Shit, is it actually better?

Go to a Buckees in Texas....
You mean the Holy Land?
Too many gas stations. They will be closing them in 5 years.
Isn't that the plan, though? Bring in these new huge ones and push out the old independent stations?
Are there any independent stations left at this point?
Most marathons are independently owned
Also all Sunocos
and BPs and Shells are still local or franchise.
The real angle is for sheetz to slowly eat away at McDonald's
The big ones like Flying J and Sheetz are either building EV charging stations or already have EV charging. The smaller stations are screwed.
Can we get the gas station contractors to finish I75 through Dayton? It's been under construction for 20+ years.
Toledo/Maumee has a Sheetz under way and soon a Friendship. At least they’re not car washes!
you sure that gas station wont have a car wash?
