With the EPA and other regulations of today and many other factors, it's quite expensive for a person to open and operate a fuel station (or to provide fuel at an existing establishment),the limited traffic probably will make it impossible for the investment to pay.

We therefore tend to not get fuel at the low volume, higher priced outlets and a person would be crazy to open up a station out in the middle of nowhere.
