It is allowed to cross there to get your gas -- at least I've never been stopped and have crossed there right in front of the Sheriff.
A Sumter County Sheriff's Deputy who was extremely rude to me at that gas station begs to differ with your assertion that it is legal to access it by crossing Beunos Aires. This guy thought he had caught Osama Bin Laden. He threatened me with a $500 fine. Then he had to make a big show by blocking traffic with his car running the emergency lights and waving me back across. Oh, and before I left the station, he shouted out his window, "DID YOU PAY FOR THAT GAS."

After we crossed the road, I got out and told him that in the years that I was a deputy sheriff, I never displayed that kind of an arrogant attitude to anybody, not even a felon. He just grinned at me through his partial plate, rolled up his window and left.
