I asked how big the underground tanks were at a gas station and the guy
told me they could hold 120,000 gallons.

He also said they were only keeping them about 1/3 full lately. Note that
he had a concerned look on his face when he said this.

And just yesterday the prices around here went from the $2.60's to around
$3.00 (over $3.00 for premium and diesel).

I would imagine that they would need to be *very* careful about their
pricing so that they will have enough cash to fill their tanks next time
around... [i.e. cash flow - money invested in their inventory, etc.]

Saw the same thing happen when the price of cigarettes went up quite a bit
suddenly. Many smaller stores reduced their inventory. Big bucks!
