In Brazil, 'posto de gasolina' (or simply 'posto') is the standard term and these establishments are ubiquitous along highways and in urban areas. Many Brazilian filling stations offer additional services such as car washes, convenience stores with snacks and drinks, and sometimes mechanical repairs. In American English, 'gas station' is more commonly used than 'filling station', though both are understood. The term reflects the primary function of refueling vehicles.
