When Google Maps takes you to the road less travelled!

After picking a member of our family from Philadelphia Airport, I was running low on Gas. Made the mistake of following Google Maps. Nearest Gas station appeared and started following the lonely path. It took me all around the periphery of the Airport, right across my starting point. True to my fear, it turned out to be Aviation Fuel Tanks. Did I need to fly?
I had turned Cock-eyed keeping an eye on the Street and another on the Fuel Gauge. Little adjustments on the Google Maps took me to another and I managed to reach; do not know whether with Gas or with Luck.
Normally, I drive with Garmin Maps while in USA or Canada and have never had any issue.
