Default If you want to fill up with gasoline with less hassle drive an extra mile

Wanted to fill up with gas because "you are supposed to" when a hurricane is coming and all the "local" stations were pretty bad at ~1:30PM. Horns honking, people cutting in, terrible entry/exit because it was blocked and no "real lines" except on the street because people were coming in through multiple entrances so we decided to go for a short ride. Went down 466A took a right on 301 and a mile or so before 466 there was 1 station that was virtually "drive up and fill up" which we did. Then took a right on 466 to head home and saw WAWA packed on the opposite side of 301 with lines down the road but the 2 stations right off 301 on 466 were virtually "drive right in." Yes, they were pumping gas. Once we hit the 2 stations by Publix on 466 it was back to Villages Crazy again. Bottom line is if you want gas with less hassle go away from the "in town madness" stations by a couple miles to fill up with less chance of getting shot by a crazy with a gun. I'm sure it will get worse tomorrow but it was much less hassle today.
