The 2 are about as polar opposites as one could get.  High gas prices vs Low gas prices.  Trucks vs. No Trucks.  Skanks vs. No Skanks...

Ah, the open skies, wind at my back, warm sun on my... wait, where the hell am I?!
As a matter of fact, I do own the road.

That, and the lack of seating. Besides that, I'm picking Buc-ee's any day of the year.

Meh.  The one in Bastrop, TX was overrun this past weekend.  People were waiting in line for the pumps.  I just kept going on my way to a more convenient station without the crowd.

I only stopped at 3 Buc-ee's during my trip over the last week.  Denton, Madisonville, and Katy. They're not convenient.  All are outside central city limits and you're likely to use one only if driving between cities - and at that, you're more likely to stop at a different brand like QT, Stripes, or Loves. I'm exiting Texas today from Fort Worth with a near full tank so I don't expect to refuel until I'm in Oklahoma.

What about Wally's? There are only a couple of them, but I stopped on the one on I-55 and thought it was way nicer than any Buc-ee's I have been to.

I only did Bud-ee's while in TX - the first, because first one - the second two - most convenient.  Otherwise I just plain picked a gas station.  As far as Wally's is concerned, They need to expand out.  They're not yet established outside IL and MO.  Neither place is on my route either.

I know of two more Wally's that have been announced.  Indiana will get one on I-65 north of Indianapolis, and Missouri's second location will be along I-70 in Independence.

Go to them.  Don't wait for them to come to you.  Take initiative.

We need our own thread for this Wally's.
