BWI car rental facility gas station
It's been at least a year since I used the BWI car rental facility; I was a regular user when it first opened a couple of years ago. A convenient gas station near the car rental returns was always missing- has that changed recently?

Yes - there is a big gas station next to the airport - north side. You need to take route 170 North from I-195 as you head towards the airport. You go in the direction of the Long Term parking lots. The gas station is on the right before you get to the Long Term Lots (A & B). You can see the runways from the Gas Station. The shippers enter from the airport gate behind the gas station.
There is a light at the gas station so you can make the turn back. The rental cars are on the south side of I-195 - down route 170. Distances are not that long.

Take a look at this Google map They are some gas stations in the "Shipley Corner" area. The Rental Car place is located in that rectangle of roads just south of the words "Stony Run", west of BWI
Also, there is a Texaco on West Nursery Road off of the BW Parkway (Hwy 295), in the "hotel district". Zoom back out from this map to see where West Nursery is in the bigger scheme of things.

Also, the Google Map indicates that there is a gas station on the corner of 170 and Amtrak Way- This would be perfect since you drive right past that on the way to the rental facility after exiting 195... but let me assure you there is no gas station there at all; just a parking lot. I believe this is actually the gas station quoted above (taking 170 N instead of S) but Google Maps is just displaying it in the wrong place.
