Meaning of pull up to

1

He pulled up to a gas station and got out of the car to begin filling up.
I don’t know if we can omit “to” after “pull up” here and it could be “He pulled up at a gas station …”. Are they different in meaning ? Please make it clear.
Thank you.

Both would be pretty much the same in meaning.

Hi Torsten,

Is this the equivalent of “to drive to”? At least that’s what it sounds like to me.

When you pull up to a gas station you stop your car at a gas station. So, to pull up to is part of the process of driving to a place.
