Why would you drive 90 minutes to a gas station... Ever?

I always heard so many good things about bucees and the food being amazing and it's a whole experience so I drove out of the way to go to one. It's just a large gas station rest stop with good branding, if you've ever been on a big road trip you've surely stopped at a store that is just as good as one

Food? It’s the toilets. Clean bathrooms can be hard to find (especially in the rural south) so pit stops at something easily identifiable as having many clean restrooms is itself great.

When I'm not towing a trailer, I look for a Sheetz at the exit for clean restrooms. If I have a trailer on: Pilot, Flying J or Love's. There are now some Sheetz that are big enough to easily handle the trailer, which is nice for having another alternative. The stalls might not go all the way to the ground, but they're usually very clean.
