benzinkúton

Benzinkút is a Hungarian word that translates to "gas station" or "petrol station" in English. It refers to a commercial establishment where motor fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, are sold to the public for use in vehicles. These facilities are a common sight along roads, highways, and in urban areas.

Typically, a benzinkút consists of a forecourt where vehicles pull up to fuel pumps. These pumps dispense various grades of fuel. Modern benzinkúts often include convenience stores or small shops selling snacks, beverages, and automotive supplies. Some may also offer additional services like car washes, tire inflation stations, and basic maintenance checks.

The operation of a benzinkút is regulated to ensure safety and environmental protection, particularly concerning the handling and storage of flammable fuels. Prices for fuel are generally subject to market fluctuations and government policies. The term "benzinkút" is widely understood in Hungary and by Hungarian speakers in surrounding countries.
