I'm not so sure about gas stations. It seems the government too often has to step in to fund remediation of the soil and safe disposal of the underground fuel tanks when they close. The gas stations never want to pay for the inevitable cleanup in advance because it would be too expensive.

Old stations that is true but new stations have complex systems of tank within tankes to ensure leaks are contained and the stations pay for that.
