Well, we will be getting a golf cart gas station, supposedly with NO ethanol in gas. Can't wait!

As to a regular gas station, doubt it will ever happen or, if it did, the gas prices would be at ten cents per gallon higher than surrounding stations. And I really don't want a convenience near the squares. They have a certain charm that just wouldn't relate to a 7-11.

At over 4 dollars a gallon there just might be a profit.

The station at Sumter landing is supposed to be The Villages Golf Car store. It will have there service and sales located there. Just got my cart serviced and they told me next time they will be there.

I think the only gas you can get in Brownwood is methane from the World of Beers. The closest to Brownwood is on Rt 44A in the Bankers Row.

I think a 7-11 would be a great idea. Give the bad guys an easy target, and maybe they'll quit breaking into houses.

when I look at the building next to Barnes & Noble that is supposed to be golf cart only, I see a significantly larger building than very many regular service stations/garages.

Also the bay doors are much more than golf cart size and look no different than a regular service garage, including height.

Without any facts or specifications all one can do is look and guess. The scale of everything, building included looks like so much more than golf cart.

Non ethanol gas products must fall into the category of botique gases that are not run in regular production lots, hence are more expensive. And there is no doubt a premium, just because, added. That is the reason why many regular gas stations that carry non ethanol usually only have premium or 93 octane....$$$$$....better for your car, boat, golf cart, recreational vehicles like ATV's etc.

Great idea, just build a fake one with cameras inside. When someone tries to rob it, it locks up and traps the crooks. Could make for a "Worlds funniest criminals" show.
