Assumptions:

approx 400000 cars

each car needs to refuel once a week

each gas station is open 10 hours a day and refuels 10 cars an hour

there are enough stations to refuel all cars once per week

Calculation:

cars that can be fueled by 1 station in 1 week

10*10*7=700

a number of gas stations (rounded up):

ceil(400000/700)=572

A slightly different approach:

• approx 300 mln cars in the US (1 car per each citizen).
• each station is open 12hr a day, has 6 places for taking fuel, each fueling takes about 6 min
• amount of cars using given gas station daily: $ 6 * 12 * \frac{60}{6} = 6 * 120 = 720 $
• gas station (at least in Europe) are used always used, so: $ \frac{300 000 000}{720} \approx 333 000 $ gas stations.
