description A series of digital marketing transformations have been carried out at Chinese gas stations. From the perspective of user experience, the article discovers the problems in the digital service system of gas stations. Through semi-structured interviews, we collect consumers’ actual usage of digital equipment and service systems. The research adopts grounded theory to encode qualitative data. The behavioral state and psychological needs of consumers in the driving situation are analyzed. The study clarifies the influence of consumer behavior status, service context process, key task difficulty, and service information visualization on service experience. The discovery of service problems in turn help to further optimize the digital service system. The constructed SITE model clarifies the key factors of user experience in the gas station scenario. The research findings can provide a theoretical reference and practical guidance for gas station business owners, managers, and designers.
