This place deserves 4 stars simply because it is the very definition of a literal "in the middle of nowhere" gas station. The Bakersfield Exxon saved our butts on a road trip through Texas. If it hadn't been for this little outpost, we likely would've been sitting on the side of the road with an empty rental car tank.
Obviously this gas station is a welcome sight for many weary road trippers, because there was a line to fill up our car! The road through central Texas is bleak and desolate, with very few places to stop. We started sweating it 30 minutes before we found this gasoline savior.
Minus a star because fuel prices were really high! I guess it's justified, but nobody enjoys paying almost a dollar more than comparable gas prices elsewhere.
There's a very small convenience store attached that sells snacks and drinks. Even when it looks closed, do not fret - the gas pumps are open 24/7. I'll bet you ten bucks that if you are driving this route through Texas, you will need to stop here to refuel. It's some sort of rite of passage for drivers. read more
