I had that same thought when a fellow poster just made me realize gas bar is a Canadian term. Who knew?
gas bar - Wiktionary
Yes, gas bar = gas station. Though I probably should have said station. Gas bar is more typical language for a regular “big” gas station - multiple covered pumps, convenience store etc etc.
I think it's a regional thing. Not common around where I am anyway. We say gas station.
