I've noticed, in NJ anyway, that all gas stations that have closed are painted the same color gray? Why is this? Who regulates this? Just something that I wonder about everytime I see one....

Maybe the city law requires it! I don't know, I haven't noticed it before.

They just want to paint over the former gas station's logo, so it's not inadvertently advertising for the station. Some people might think that station is open if you see something like "7-11" painted in bold colors.

They paint the stations gray after all the tanks are emptied and removed from the ground.

That's the cheapest paint they could buy. White cost more.
