Finding a simple gas station in Bali
Filed under: Etc., Pacific Region
With gas prices as they are, getting a fill-up can feel a little bit like an adventure -- as in 'just where am I going to locate the money to fill up my Suburban this week?' I don't personally remember it, but I've heard about the long lines that existed in the 1970s, when getting gas seemed nigh impossible. But, imagine if you lived in Bali and got a container of gas on a street-side shop like the one you see pictured above? Some questions could arise. Like, for instance, what octane? Eh, who cares? It's petrol, right? Take what you can get and run with it. You could always walk.

Well - if you live in the city and use a scooter to get around, this is about as much of a gas station as you need.
Maybe there's an air compressor tucked inside the door?

I have driven there ( the omnipresent Suzuki Jimny rental ) and these bottle stations are indeed mostly for the scooters. Swarms of scooters, that surround you everywhere. Sometimes carrying entire families and parts of the farm as well.
They have "normal" gas stations of course too, often with long queues.
