Drivers across America are discovering significant savings at tribal gas stations, with some paying up to 75 cents less per gallon than nearby pumps. These savings come from state tax exemptions on tribal land, turning reservation fuel stops into budget-friendly oases during high fuel prices.
Japan is taking action to protect consumers from price gouging at the pump as fuel costs climb. The government will now monitor gas stations more closely and require fair pricing when subsidies are in place.
A viral video asking why electric vehicle chargers don't have weather canopies sparked a conversation that revealed good news: the industry is already building covered stations. Major charging networks are now including canopies, solar panels, and amenities in their newest designs.
NASA is launching a groundbreaking experiment this July to test technology that could create refueling stations in space. These orbital gas stations would revolutionize deep space travel by letting spacecraft refuel on their way to Mars and beyond.
Will and Monifa Sims stopped for gas in 2013 and ended up singing on The Tonight Show after nailing impromptu karaoke at a Burbank gas station. Twelve years later, they're celebrating 25 years of marriage and the viral moment that made millions smile.
As electric vehicles gain ground, researchers predict gas stations may need public support to survive—starting sooner than you think. A new study maps out what happens when fossil fuel demand slows down enough to shake up the entire supply chain.
When Rhode Island disappeared under three feet of snow, two gas station workers stayed awake for 36 straight hours to keep their doors open for exhausted plow drivers, nurses, and first responders who had nowhere else to go.

NASA is launching a satellite this summer to test how to store and transfer super-chilled rocket fuel in space, a breakthrough technology that could unlock missions to the Moon and Mars. The LOXSAT mission will demonstrate 11 different systems for managing cryogenic fuels in orbit, paving the way for refueling stations beyond Earth.
NASA just tested a breakthrough device that could let spacecraft refuel in orbit before heading to distant worlds. The "cryocoupler" works like an automated gas pump nozzle for space, opening doors to missions we've never attempted before.
Chinese automaker BYD just solved electric vehicles' biggest problem with a new battery that charges from 10% to 70% in five minutes. The breakthrough brings EVs one giant step closer to replacing gas cars for good.
Mexico is going cashless at gas pumps and highway tolls this year, making digital payments mandatory as part of President Sheinbaum's ambitious plan to modernize the economy. The move aims to bring financial services to remote communities while reducing fraud and boosting efficiency.
Electric vehicle charging stations surged across America in 2025, with fast chargers growing by 35% as drivers reconsider EVs amid rising gas prices. California leads with over 10,000 charging locations, but the infrastructure boom is reaching all 50 states.
Six new renewable natural gas stations just opened across five states, making it easier and cheaper for truck fleets to slash emissions while saving money. The stations turn waste into clean fuel that actually reduces carbon pollution.
A local government in Lagos is handing out free cooking gas refills to 4,000 residents across seven wards, offering immediate relief from rising energy costs. The initiative distributes 3kg gas cylinders on a first-come, first-served basis at designated stations in each ward.
