To give the impression that you will get fuel, food or drink at a rest area is misleading. A rest area is a place to stop (to rest), that may have a WC, picnic tables, somewhere maybe to set up a barbeque but no 'services' are available. At a service area you can also get fuel, there will be a shop and cafeteria/restaurants.
