I mentioned in another thread that I drove by one on my way down to Florida. It was off of 95 in Georgia and it was huge! I’ve never seen anything like it and at the time I had no idea what is was but I saw signs for it as I was approaching it. It was past midnight when I drove by and very dark and then all of a sudden I see this brightly lit huge gas station but it was after I passed the exit and it was too late to go back. In hindsight I should’ve stopped but I didn’t know anything about it at the time.

It's America in gas station form. Huge, excessive, over the top, superior to all others.

When I drove up to DC in December, I stopped at one near Daytona, just plain insane in terms of the size of the place and the food I got there was very good. However, I am picky on my gas so I did not fill up there, but prices were some of the lowest I have seen on my trip.

I live 2 miles from one. Always packed. I went when they first opened and have not been back, not that its bad but the food is fast food quality and the gas is not any cheaper then around town.
If you never been to one you should stop by one if its along your travel route.
