Less of a need for gas means less profit for gas stations. Fuel efficient cars combined with more and more electric cars makes gas stations less of a good investment....

We'll see a lot less gas stations in the future.
I know I don't even go inside gas stations anymore. I remember back in the day when everything was cash, I'd always buy drinks or other junk food when I went inside.

Now I always pay at the pump and pretty much only go inside if I need to use the restroom.
