Yes, like I said, there are still legacy sites that survive. Drive down any major road to see how many have since closed compared to the amount that remain. The point about feasibility is that it's not feasible to build these small operations today. Most of those Domos are decades old. None that I know of have been built recently. Like Bomberjet said, the margin on fuel is cents on the litre for the operator. You need volume to make a go of it.
