It's not about skill. It's about convenience. I have the skill to back up a 1/2 mile down a single lane road to turn around, but it certainly is inconvenient and not the best approach to making a u turn.
Finding fuel should be convenient
Maybe if you are filling up at an inner city gas station.
If you pull off at a rural interchange gas station, it's largely a non-issue.
Certainly never needed to back up 1/2 mile to get out of a gas station. A few times, we've backed out but it's really the oddity.
