Ok, I'm not sure how many people in a town of 109,000 use or have bitcoin. Whatever the case, a place which accepts btc is better than none.

Here's the info on the town.

A gas station in the US now lets customers fill up with bitcoin, making it likely to be the first business that allows the purchase of fossil fuel using cryptocurrency.

The station has completed eight transactions since it began accepting bitcoin at the start of January, according to the store’s owner, Shahzad Sarwar.

“I started taking bitcoin, above all, to support the bitcoin community,” he said.

The gas station, in Greeley, Colorado, is called Cosmic Market and also has a convenience store attached.
