The technological initiative of man towards the development of automobile and the discovery of petroleum triggered the building of petrol filling stations (PFSs) at strategic locations to meet the demand of vehicle owners. The rapid growth in urbanization has produced greater demand of vehicles, which results in more fuel consumption. This research aimed at scrutinizing the impact of location of petrol filling stations in Akure. Two (2) sets of structured questionnaires were administered on the residents and the Owners/Managers in charge of the PFSs. Simple Random Sampling Technique was used in the administration of 415 questionnaires on the residents‟ household-heads of the sampled buildings, while a total survey was conducted on the 87 functional PFSs. All data collected were analyzed using univariate analysis. Findings reveal that the proximity of PFSs on the same lane and adjourning lane below 0.5kmrecorded 34.5% and 46.1% respectively, location of PFSs in the study area is worrisome, rate of fume inhalation and noise pollution is very high as majority of the PFSs operate on generating plants, also illegal motor parks and concentration of PFSs in some area of Akure.It is therefore suggested that there should be a synergy between the two approving bodies on how to effectively implement the planning standards, emission standard should be introduced and enforced on all PFSs with generator plants and workable planning standards policy on location of PFSs should be enforcement so as to decongest PFSs in some areas.
