Why didn't any gas stations have generators?

Same reason they don't here. They cost money and the station
operators don't see a payback in most cases. CT is considering a
couple of new laws that will required at least some stations to have
generators.

I imagine it could be a $3000 to $6000 investment to do it and while
the oil companies are making money, the local station owner is on a
thin margin.
