My great- uncle in Santa Rosa did......he didn't seem to mind. But then he grew up on a farm in Illinois. I remember his saying that when they gravelled the road in front of the farm it constituted a BIG improvement. (That was admittedly about 90 years ago).
Anyway....True, a gas station is undoubtedly better served with hard surfaced concrete, given the amount of wear n' tear.
On the other hand, I still maintain pea gravel would work just fine on more lightly traveled surfaces.
But from what I understand, most city codes prohibit them.
