Of course if they stop selling gas, don't be surprised if the whole store doesn't eventually close. There was a store near where I live that for the longest time had the cheapest gas in the area. Suddenly they stopped selling gas, and not too long thereafter there was a For Lease sign in the window.
This station routinely runs out of gas. I was there a week or two ago and they were out of gas. A short time later when we came out of Publix the tanker was there. I waited awhile for the sediment to settle down, then went over and filled up the cart. In the future I'll just fill up when I'm in the Southern Trace area. It's a waste of time and gas to make futile trips to a station which often is out of gas.
Cheap has never been used to describe the gas at this station. It's always the most expensive in the area but it's the only place in the south end near Colony to buy gas.
