Quality Mart Number 34

When you need to fill up, you need to fill up. Strangely, some places make that a relatively easy task from the interstate — you just look for a towering sign, pull off, fill the tank and get going again. Other times? Not quite so simple.
On this trip, we actually had a heck of a time figuring out where we were going to fill the tank. Eventually we spotted one of those blue signs that told us where we could gas up, but by the time we pulled off, the smaller blue sign told us that it was something like half a mile from the ramp. Ah well, what are you going to do?
By the time we were actually at the appointed location, there were not one, but two stations, so we chose the one advertising the «fastest pumps in town». Seeing that the other was virtually empty, it had to be the truth, right? I am not so sure.
Perhaps the pumps in the Durham area are generally slow, but the pumps here were not all that great. They were not bad, they were just not that fast. Eventually we were able to get going again, but it was not exactly what I would have expected from such advertising, you know?
