Landing near a Gas Station is not abnormal. Lots of us have in the days where Gas was used. Whats stupid is not checking your way in and out very well.
If you happen to be flying from Anchorage Alaska to Fairbanks you can stop at the Gas station in Igloo and they have Jet-A
The other problem is the Perception of what non pilots THINK is right or wrong. Landing in a parking lot of a remote Bar could be innocently misunderstood.
