Gasoline for 99 cents today...
 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060507/..._ge/gas_bank_1

Looks like people in Minnesota have a great business around there. You can buy gasoline in bulk in advance, and these stations just hang on to it for you. Some dude bought 500 gallons at $2.03, and whenever the regular prices go above that, he pumps out of his reserve! Wish they had one of these around my parts. :dunno:

I bet reading the article would help explain that.

Its kind of suprising that you hear about people knocking off banks all the time, but noone ever knocks off a gas truck a la the fast and the furious.

Banks don't self destruct if something goes wrong...

Dude lol come on are you serious?
If u rob a bank you have a bag full of cash ridiculously easy to transport light weight etc.
A gas truck is HUGGGE & easily noticable. Plus who do you plan on selling it to lol

Seriously. Did you read the article? It explains where the gas is stored quite clearly.

SSJ, the gas is being compressed using nuclear fusion and a compression algorithm similar to a hybrid gzip. 500 gallons becomes 3.4 quarts of pure fuel.
