- Very nice, thank you Brian!
- elutionary 8:54 · 2024-04-11T19:44:02.605ZVery clever theme; thanks!
- Hah! This is very nice. And I live in TX, so very familiar with Buc-ees! It’s great, but getting out of the parking lot is anarchy.
- I just love that you can get gas, load up on Buc-ee's-themed merch, sample fudge, and walk out the door with pickled quail eggs
- very cool theme! love the clue for GASPUMP :)
- Great puzzle! Took me forever, by my favorite was 15A
- This one was definitely on the difficult side. Cheers to you for making your way through!

- Hope it wasn't too rough
Thanks for checking it out!- T-grizzle 41:39 · 2024-04-14T01:08:15.298ZI got there eventually ha ha. It was fun
- clever theme, thank you!
- Really good!
- Super clever! Never been to a Buc-ees but gotta experience it next road trip
- One minor quibble: AMIGO/PTO and AMIGA/PTA both work with the clues as currently written.I enjoyed the puzzle, and I think I would have solved it unaided except that somehow I never figure out themes where words are written backwards!
- That's a fair critique. However, I did use "org." in the PTA clue, which would dupe the "O" of PTO. I might make a slight change to AMIGA. Thanks for solving!
- That's a fair point, too, about duping the "O", but I've noticed a lot of constructors aren't very strict about duping letters in acronyms, so it's impossible to be certain.
