Filling up with petrol is a straightforward task for most individuals, often necessary before embarking on a long journey. Typically, city petrol stations have only 8-10 pumps, leading to long queues of vehicles. However, today we are highlighting the largest petrol station in the world. Situated in Texas, the United States of America, this station offers a mall-like experience, and visiting it feels more like a leisurely outing.
The petrol station is located in Luling, Texas, approximately 47 miles from Austin, and is owned by Buc-ee’s. It boasts an impressive 120 petrol pumps and spans over 75,000 square feet.
Recently, a social media influencer named Todd visited this petrol station and was astounded by what he saw. Todd shared his experience, noting that there are 120 petrol pumps in a row, and inside, there’s a massive store offering sweets, baked goods, merchandise, and clean toilets. There’s also a section for smoked meat, where fresh brisket is prepared.
Todd praised the food, especially the three-meat bun, which, although simple in appearance, had a surprisingly good taste. He enjoyed its sweetness, barbecue sauce, and bread, stating he would eat it again. He also tried a sausage wrapped in a tortilla, costing $4.99 (about £4), accompanied by a honey mustard dip, which he found impressive and not cheap-tasting.
Additionally, Todd sampled a pastry called Paddle Tail, priced at $3.79 (about £3), describing it as a delightful mix of cinnamon roll and croissant with an amazing cinnamon flavour. However, he was less impressed with the Korean barbecue flavoured jerky, finding it lacking in taste. In his video, Todd showcased the back wall of the fuel station, lined with numerous soft drink dispensers. Drinks are available for $4.99 (about £4), with refills costing just $1.99 (about £1.50). He also praised the famous beaver nuggets, claiming, “These will blow your mind.”
The Buc-ee’s Experience
Buc-ee’s is more than just a petrol station; it offers an extraordinary experience with Texas barbecue, homemade fudge, beaver nuggets, jerky, and fresh pastries. There are 50 Buc-ee’s stores across America, 35 of which are in Texas, renowned for their spacious and clean bathrooms.
Todd’s video went viral on social media, garnering significant praise. One user commented, “This is the pride of Texas.” Another added, “Welcome to Texas, friend.” Someone else expressed, “I wish this was in the UK too.” A man reminisced, “I saw these petrol pumps while travelling from Dallas to Houston a few weeks ago and was surprised to see so many pumps.”
Previously, Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, Tennessee, was considered the world’s largest petrol station at 74,707 square feet, and it also boasts the world’s longest car wash. However, the title now belongs to Buc-ee’s in Luling.
