    Filling the tank means standing by the pump for a few minutes.

More about this board type

Petrol stations are a surprisingly powerful media format. People stand beside the pump with nothing to do except… look at the screen. High dwell time, short repeat cycles, and an audience that spans every demographic. Perfect for convenience retail, automotive, food, travel, and local services.

I have access to heaps of these all over the planet, and you can get your ads up on any of them with a CAASie.co account. So go ahead and make one.

If you want, I've also got this article that explains all the benefits of fuel station advertising, should you choose (wisely) to go down this path.
