She do got a point

Can’t recall seeing a gas station in midtown or lower Manhattan

There’s about 20 gas stations in Manhattan

The problem is there’s only like 3 under 59th st

That's because we fukking gas up before going to Manhattan but now that I think about it, only gas stations I see are either on Westside highway proximity or Harlem driver drive.

As soon as you enter NJ you are hit with gas stations and there are gas stations everywhere outside the city 90% of those car drivers don’t live in the city.

Only gas station I know of downtown is the one on 23rd street under FDR drive

Cuz land is expensive in Manhattan. The one in the west village is probably the most expensively located one.

I can't imagine with the real estate rents how someone can even own a gas station without it being a franchise owned station directly owned by the oil/gas station companies

With Manhattan being next to New Jersey it’s pointless. If I’m driving from Manhattan to Philly I’d probably fill up in NJ anyway..never in Manhattan.

shyt I do that now. I wait till I get to NJ from Brooklyn to fill up when I go to Maryland, DC or Philly

There's a few but i reckon why is because it's too congested the closer you go towards downtown and 2 too many rich folks rich real estate so the gas stations not gonna be put there...

There’s one by 13th and 8th

There used to be more 10, 15 years ago but real estate developers bought those owners out to put up big buildings.
