it's likely on an interstate and on a stretch of it that if you're on it you're likely already going 200 miles that direction. Like if I'm driving from Dallas to Houston, once I get out of Dallas there's a bucees billboard just like this telling me there's one in madisonville which is where I'd be in like 2 hours

That's a fairly small amount of driving for an average-sized person, I'd say? The main reason road trips go so fast and "feel" so short is that there isn't much density to American highways. I wouldn't WANT to drive 172 miles to bucees in that timeframe, but I could easily.

Always clean, great bathrooms, large variety of snacks for road trips. good food made in house. Most have very large parking lots so if you're hauling anything/moving you don't have to worry about where you're going to park. It's not a destination but it's always great to stop at on a road trip. Grab some beaver nuggets or some candied pecans and hit da road

it's probably in some deserted middle-of-nowhere state like Kansas or Montana, where the population density is 1 person/sq.mile and driving 200 miles in one direction is just part of the experience of driving through that state.

Not mentioned is the fact that because Buc-ee's has such a high volume of customers and they sell mostly their own house brand, their prices are more along the lines of a grocery store than a convenience store.

Some of their stuff is likely sold at cost, some is reasonably priced, some is tourism priced. Chips and beer? Cheaper than walmart. Ice cream, motor oil, and soda? Not cheap, but also not gouging. A beaver nugget snack, beaver shirt, and weird chiochskis are horrendously overpriced. Some of their merch is really fucking good but still not worth the price. Other merch is just "this is clearly made in china, why are you charging $100 for it?" level stuff.

Go in, take a shit, get a gallon of soda and bag of beaver nuggets, fill up your tank. Definitely worth going if you're within 20 miles of one, even bringing out of town guests to experience it is fun too.

By that logic the US dates to 1492.
You are pretending that multiple European states haven't had their borders shifted so much as to not have any relation to the state they claim to descend from. Most of Poland used to be German, the Ukraine used to be Russia. The UK used to be French/Dutch/Roman. France used to be Celtic.
Modern euro states and their modern cultures are not as old as you like to pretend they are. There's a good chance your ancestors were some mix of central European mutts who migrated to a random major city on the continent at some point in the 18th-19th century for the economic opportunity. This was common in an era when being Christian was considered more important than being Spanish/Austrian/Italian.
