Subject: RE: BS: Highest price paid for petrol in the UK
In the good ol' US of A:
a place near your house (should be enclosed) where you can park a car is called a 'garage'
a shop that repairs your car is called a 'repair shop'
a place to buy gasoline is called a 'gas station'
a store with gas pumps next to it is called 'a store with gas station'.
Perhaps we in the US are just a simpler lot.
