There is a good petrol station with Burger King on A5 close to Móstoles. To get there, take a metro to Hospital de Móstoles and walk about 1 km (check the map). There is a petrol station on each side of the highway and a bridge connecting them.

Option 1. Take metro line 6 to the station ''Alto de Extremadura'' and then go to the Cepsa petrol station on the street ''Avenida de Portugal'', which is the A5 highway. Most traffic is still staying in the city, be patient and persistant. From there search here you can look for a lift at least to another the petrol station stations mentioned in Option 2 (very close by) or Option 3, or, even better, to the one at km 48 km down the A5(right before Las ventas de Retamosa, exit 49 ). Apparently if you walk 5 minutes down the road on the left there is a place that serves free food at 12.00pm.
Option 2. Take metro 10 or 5 to Casa de Campo and walk to Repsol Batan gas station, on Paseo de Extremadura (A5 highway). Same chances as in Option 1, with most traffic still staying around Madrid. Option 3. Take a metro to Hospital de Móstoles (line 12) and walk about 1 km through end-of-suburbia fields (check the map). There is a good petrol station with a Burger King on the A5 close to Móstoles. You'll enter through the petrol station direction Madrid, and take the bridge to the other side of the highway, direction Talavera, Merida, Badajoz, Portugal. other gas station Option 4? Alternatively, it seems like one could easily get to the service station "Polvoranca" on the [https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=40.337075,-3.802514&hl=en&sll=40.337009,-3.802621&sspn=0.009846,0.01929&mra=mift&mrsp=0&sz=16&t=m&z=16 R5].
You would have simply take the "10" metro line to puerto del sur, about 30 minutes riding away from the city centre, and then walk a kilometre or so down Av. Leganés, splitting off to the petrol station as you can [https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=40.337075,-3.802514&hl=en&ll=40.339127,-3.799456&spn=0.004923,0.009645&sll=40.337009,-3.802621&sspn=0.009846,0.01929&mra=mift&mrsp=0&sz=16&t=h&z=17 see here]
from this petrol station, it seems like most of the traffic would be going towards Toledo or Portugal.
[[User:Fye|Fye]] checked this spot on Monday, 14.08.2017 two times (around 1 pm and 7 pm) and both times the petrol station was very dead, with very few cars passing it. In fact the whole R5 highway at this place is surprisingly dead for a highway. Not sure if that was about time or is it always like that. Better go directly to petrol stations on A5 though.
