Gas & Save

Driving through war-​torn Mogadishu… errr… West Akron and need some petrol emotion? Have cash? Gas & Save is more than just their name, it is a direct command. You WILL gas and you WILL save. You do have cash, right?
Step inside the heavily-​fortified bunker and discover an entire small-​town shopping experience. Hardware, beer, wine, lottery and other financial instruments, homeopathic remedies, clothing, all for sale. If you have cash. Chat up one of the stone-​faced para-​military personnel behind the counter and you’ll experience the challenges faced by many world travelers. Currency exchange. Language barriers. Cultural conflict. Discovering exotic wares. And the rich, pungent smells and sounds of faraway lands! (Don’t forget the omnipresent threat/​promise of either violence or tolerance. Or both.)
Cheap fuel. Bring the kids; they may never have seen real gas pumps, before, the kind that make actual pumping sounds, whir and spit and cough while belching out your petro-​carbons. Helluvalot cheaper than Cedar Point.
