Researching obscure data?

SA here. Shop likes to ask me for obscure data in process of early DD (e.g. the number of gas stations in some random region & its average fuel capacity or something like that). Oftentimes the data just isn't there/very very hard & time-consuming to find. How do I even get better at this?... Also, how do I stop getting this type of work lol?
