I often notice gas stations when I travel (particularly when I don’t actually have a vehicle, and so have no need for one). I’m guessing this is a remnant of my time as a land use planner for a transportation agency (gas stations and highways are generally found in close proximity), but it could also be part of the family attraction to all things automotive. Or it could just be a weird quirk.
