What could be more refreshing than having your flip flop clad feetsies bathed in cool gasoline while filling your tank on a warm day half way through a 10+ hour drive? If you too would like to enjoy such a one of a kind experience, may I recommend to you the Conoco gas station in Battle Mountain, NV?
From the attendant's response to my question of, "your pumps don't have an automatic shut off?" it sounded like this was a frequent occurrence and they were aware that it happens. I was offered nothing more than a sympathetic "uh-oh!" when I told them I had gasoline spill all over my feet. Not a fan of paying for more gasoline than I'll actually use...or of having to wash my feet in a gas station bathroom and having to leave my sandals in my trunk so I wouldn't smell like a gas station for the next 6 hours of my trip. I highly doubt people use Yelp to scope out gas stations to land at on long road trips, but if you do, here's my review of this one. There are plenty of other gas stations in Battle Mountain that aren't so environmentally scary. The price may be a touch cheaper, but you'll pay more for the gas that spills. Just keep driving down the road. read more
