Take on the car rental airport fillip

As a guy who was once employed by a rental car company and now a
frequent customer there is something that never made any sense. It
is pretty standard for car rentals to ask you to return it full which
I am fine with in theory but it's almost like they set you up for
failure because most airports do not have a has station anywhere neat
the car rental return center. It's as if the car rental companies
and gas companies are cohoots like the US government paying farmers
NOT to grow crops because the rental car companies make a fortune of
the gas penalty they charge renters. It is not uncommon
to see companies charge upwards of $5 a gallons as punishment
For somebody like me who is perpetually in a crazy rush the situation
is always the same, pick up rental car, drive around for a day, get
delayed somewhere, rush to return rental cat, scramble to find a gas
station nearby, sweat profusely and finally return car, rush to
terminal to usually find me flight to LaGuardia has been delayed
anyway
