Here in the UK, we call them petrol stations. But "gas" is still appropriate, because 15 years ago LPG conversions were all the rage, and every petrol station had gas too.

Nowadays I can only think offhand of a single local retail fuel establishment that will sell you both US and UK "gas".

Would running one of those off a gas drum be possible? Most petrol stations around me stock them. Need to match brands to return a drum though.

I assume the 11-ish litre butane capacity wouldn't be enough to be practical.
