::I'll do a scientific investigation (among Belgians, Germans and whoever else I might encounter) next time I'm on the road, which will hopefully be sometime before the end of the month. I '''do''' know that asking for gas stations in Scandinavia will not be understood, and in Sweden, Denmark and Norway they talk about ''motorväg/motorvei/motorvei'') [[User:Prino|Prino]] 23:40, 6 November 2010 (CET)
: FWIW, I hear "petrol station" all the time among European hitchhikers, to the point where I've come to adopt the term myself although I grew up speaking US English. "Gas station" definitely feels out of place in Europe. "Highway" seems more common than "motorway" on the continent, though. [[User:CRCulver|CRCulver]] 06:39, 7 November 2010 (CET)
::Ok, maybe I was wrong. Well, one term not yet mentioned is "tank station", sometimes used by Dutch speakers - and no I'm not proposing we would ever leave that in our articles ;) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 14:15, 7 November 2010 (CET)
