I think there's a pretty wide gulf between true "rural" areas and the most dense of the suburbs.

A 30-minute drive to a grocery store in a suburb doesn't surprise me all that much. In the 'burb I lived in during my teens, 15 minutes to the grocery store was essentially the best you could hope for. Add some traffic (pretty common most of the time) and that could easily creep up to 20 or 25 minutes.

(And yeah, I live in a city now, and I can walk to a very well appointed smaller grocery in about 3 minutes.)

Yes, this is the issue I often ran into in the burbs. Traffic management in suburban neighborhoods can be pretty non-existent in some areas.
