A filling station (or gas station in the United States, petrol station in the United Kingdom) is a place where you can refuel your vehicle.

It sells fuel like gasoline and diesel, along with engine oil. Fuel is pumped into your car through dispensers that calculate the cost.

Many stations also have air compressors for filling tires and small convenience stores. Some stations offer full service where an attendant helps you, while others are self-service.

The more operational fuel stations a country has, the fewer the fuel queues.
