I was thinking, maybe these stations have a captured audience of many, many golf carts and the abundance of landscapers needing fuel for their equipment who don’t want to lose time driving further away to refuel?

Could be. Maybe a landlord charges the station higher rent. Maybe the Local Option Tax on fuel differs. Maybe the station’s convenience store doesn’t make as much profit on beer, snacks, etc. so they make it up on gasoline. Maybe…
I suppose that if the gasoline stations in TV were making a ton of profit, we would see more gas stations. How many gas stations are south of the Turnpike?
