A BAD GAS STATION EXPERIENCE AWAY
A BAD GAS STATION EXPERIENCE AWAY
“In 2022, convenience stores and gas stations accounted for 13.8% of all robberies and 4.5% of all violent crimes in the U.S.”

Today, my little sister, Sage, turned 16, and I, remembering the day she was born, started to feel old. She was filled with excitement just like any teenager reaching this major milestone. Getting her driver's license symbolized newfound freedom and independence, and she couldn't wait to hit the road.
LATE APRIL 2020
Sage was on the road and burning through gas like it was endless. One night, while refueling at what was advertised as the newest and best gas station in town, everything changed.
As she stood by the pump, a white van (the kind often associated with unsettling stories) pulled up beside her. Four grown men got out and began approaching her. Sensing the danger, Sage acted fast: she stopped fueling immediately, jumped into her car, and sped away to safety.
Sadly, experiences like Sage’s are becoming all too common. Encounters with suspicious individuals at gas stations are no longer rare, they're a real and growing concern. This moment forever changed how we view a "simple" trip to the pump, and it sparked a new awareness of the dangers many drivers, especially young women, frequently face today.
MAY 2020 - JULY 2022
After that terrifying night, we knew there had to be a better way. We realized that traditional gas station visits came with risks. Risks that shouldn’t exist in today’s world. Determined to make a change, we immediately got to work.
Over the next two and a half years, we poured our time, energy, and expertise into finding a safer, smarter solution. Thousands of hours brainstorming, planning, and development, we created not just a product, but a movement toward safer refueling: Fuuled was born.
Fuuled is the result of real-life experience, relentless innovation, and an unwavering commitment to personal safety and convenience. What started as a simple idea, evolved into a full-scale solution designed to protect and simplify the lives of drivers everywhere.
