Much like Jumpin’ Jack Flash, this place is a gas, gas, gas! On my long journey from Milan to Minsk… wait, that was Rochelle, Rochelle. No, I was driving back to NYC from North Carolina and needed some gas before I got on that freakishly long Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. So, I pulled into the BP here and got my gas and was back on the road in a jiffy. The place was clean, there were plenty of pumps and I was able to get in and out effortlessly. Like I said, it was a gas, baby! The only weird thing was when I was pumping gas into my rental car, this guy comes over to demonstrate some car cleaning product. I told him I didn’t need it and he says«Why, you don’t own a car?». And I said«No I don’t. I live in New York so I take the subway everywhere. Do you want to see my Metrocard?». I don’t think he believed me, so he proceeded to clean the trunk of my rental. It did look good and I told him that Budget Rental Cars would thank him. He was nice enough, though, and very handsome, but I’m still concerned that he thought I would lie about not owning a car. Don’t I look honest?

Okay, so it’s really only a pennies-to-the-gallon difference, but I note that the gas prices here are consistently better than most other places in the local area. For a gas station so close to the Chesapeake Expressway, it’s convenient and a good deal! The bathrooms are usually pretty well kept, and there is a decent selection of mini-mart fare that I’ve successfully avoided so far(but not due to the gas station’s fault). The car wash is pretty good with a variety of levels to choose from. You can select to pay for the car wash at the pump and get a 15¢ discount per gallon of gas you purchase. There’s also an air pump available for your tires or kid’s bike. I think it’s 25¢ per use.
