.1 mile per Google Maps, 2 blocks
4 km to a litre at a gas station, and 14 km to three litres at a grocery store.
The nice thing is that it is a lovely drive past several mesas.
At work, to one of the two convenience stores on the next blocks.
At home, 1/2 mile to ShopRite.
1/2 a mile to the Valero.

My apartment is right behind a grocery store (supermarket), so about 100-200 feet.
In places where the metric system is used, is there ever such a thing as a “metric gallon”, which would be four or five liters? I know in Germany they sell “pounds” of things in the grocery stores, but they’re metric pounds, or .5K kilo.
About a block and a half to the 7-11 or the Natural Foods Co-Op, depending on how organic I’m feeling that day.
(omg, it feels nice to post again. shakes off the cob webs)
2 blocks to a convenience store, 1 mile to a large grocery store.
314 feet door-to-door. Another corner store at 917 feet, and Safeway is just over a quarter-mile.
Looking at Google Maps, I think it’s actually farther from Safeway’s front door to its milk fridge than it is from my front door to the corner store.
There’s a little Mom-n-Pop type store about half a mile away - they might sell milk, tho I’ve never been inside. There’s also a convenience store about 3 miles to the north, and a real grocery store between 6 and 7 miles to the south. There’s also a grocery about 4 miles from where I work, in the wrong direction, but still closer than driving the 6-7 miles south on the way home from work.
The closest place is a little corner convenience store, which is about .3 miles from my door. I don’t know if they sell gallons, however.
If I need a gallon, the closest decent supermarket is a mile and a half from me. There is one closer, but it’s kind of depressing.
Pennsylvania sets minimum prices for milk, so a gallon at Sheetz is going to cost the same as a gallon at Giant. Where I buy the milk is a function of where I happen to be at the time and how badly I need it.

There’s a grocery store less than a mile from my apartment, but I’m not sure it’s open 24 hours. There are three or four 7-11s within a mile or so if I need milk at 2:00 in the morning.
Within about 2 blocks of my apartment, there are at least 6 dépanneurs (convenience stores), 2 grocery stores and an SAQ. One of the grocery stores is pretty much opposite the nearest dep, so we tend to go there for milk (and most weekday groceries). We also have at least 2 pharmacies within the same radius. No gas stations, though.
2 miles
Google Maps says it’s .4 miles or a 7-minute walk to the 24-hour grocery store. Used to have a convenience store closer, but they closed a few months ago.
East Buttcrack NC.
I can get milk within 3 miles (at a gas station), but the places I get groceries on a regular basis are 20-25 miles away.
