While petrol stations are a part of life today, they didn’t exist in 1888 when Bertha embarked on her historic journey. She solved the problem of refuelling in the town of Wiesloch, purchasing Ligroin (the petrol solvent needed to run the engine in the Patent-Motorwagen) from the only place allowed to sell the liquid fuel, the local chemist. As a side note, that chemist in Wiesloch, the Stadt-Apotheke, which incidentally is still in business, is now regarded as the first petrol station in the world.
