Texans know that when they are on the road, it's worth 'holding it in' until you reach the nearest Buc-ee's.

The Texas-sized service stations are renowned across the Lone Star state for having the cleanest (and most) restrooms. That reputation has apparently spread nationwide.

"The reputation of gas station restrooms has cleaned up significantly in the past three years, with brands making concentrated efforts to make their facilities sparkle," said Frank Beard, convenience store and retail trends analyst at GasBuddy.

Utah-based Maverik claimed the top spot in six states, the most out of any other brands. Wawa and QuikTrip tied in second, leading in six states, followed by, Irving, Kwik Trip and Sinclair each topping the list in three states. The state with the highest gas station restroom ratings overall is Nebraska.

Buc-ee's currently primarily operates in Texas, with one outpost in Alabama. But its founder has plans for an "invasion" outside of Texas. So hopefully in the not too distant future, you can keep an eye out for the beaver as a beacon of clean restrooms on your cross-country trip.
