A gas station in which gasoline is very expensive. Often the prices per gallon for a rape station are hard to see from the nearby streets, and one does not know the prices until they actually drive into the station. The particulars of a country's petroleum imports/exports or futures are not taken into account when designating a gas station a "rape station", and the designation is somewhat subjective.
Tired of getting screwed for gas, John found a small, run-down Arco that looked promising. As he pulled up to a pump, however, he found his hopes dashed: at $2.059 for regular, he had run into yet another rape station.
