I believe it is an FAA regulation that prohibits automobile gas stations within x feet of airports. I had this same idea years ago. I suspect many people have had this idea.


I doubt that, otherwise how would you get nice, 100% filled up cars at the rental location? They must refill them when they come back in and I doubt they're going off property to do it.

My hunch is that the rental car companies probably pay the facility not to have a gas station.

LL rental companies have their own gas stations hidden away, where only employees see them.

On the subject of cars brown cars with brown interiors, why?

I guess I should have specified "retail" gas stations. Please don't make me go find the regs to prove it. I hate looking at that crap.

I judge them even more.

Only a fool would fall victim to such marketing ploys.
