Casey's is a bit like QuikTrip, in that if you have a choice between it and another generic station, you'll want to pick the Casey's. This is a good stop off of I-70 that is super easy to get to, and not overly traffic-filled.
Casey's always has good snacks for a road trip, from salty to sweet. I found the restroom to be clean and nice too.
Gas is typically fairly priced in mid-MO, and this was no exception, even a dime cheaper than other options I sped past.
One big reason to recommend this station is that the areas around KC, Columbia, and STL city limits are always more populated and thus more crowded, so it's always a good idea to find like this beforehand. read more
