WAYS TO ENSURE A PLEASANT DRIVE

Stop at a QuikTrip. According to the GasBuddy survey, the top-rated rest stop bathrooms belong to Tulsa-based QuikTrip, which secured the top spot in nine states, the most out of any other brands. Chevron came in second, leading in five states on the West Coast, followed by Sheetz and Wawa, each ranking highest in four states.
