The highways are mostly dead.
The old mega-gas station survived because of two things:
hardened concrete
fuel infrastructure
The Buc-ee’s is no longer a convenience store — it’s a fuel fortress and trade post.

Year 0 → Year 5 After Collapse
The highways died first.
Not from bombs.
From silence.
No freight. No police. No tanker schedules. Fuel stations became stranded islands — giant reservoirs with no civilization attached to them.
Most gas stations were looted in weeks.
But the Buc-ee’s survived.
Not because it had the most fuel.
Because it had the most people.
