	Filling station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Individual gas stations are unlikely to sell gasoline at a loss, and the margin that they make from gasoline sales is limited by the fact that gasoline is a commodity and a gas station which charges significantly more than the wholesale price will lose customers to other gas stations.
		The term "gas station" is mostly particular to the United States of America and Canada, where petrol is known as "gas" or "gasoline".
		Gas stations in film and TV Back to the Future and Back to the Future Part II - Three versions of Texaco stations (i.e., product placement) are shown, including a contemporary self-serve station (1980s), 1950s version with full-serve, and a futuristic version where the station is fully-automated to serve flying cars.

	Iowa Gas Station Owner Caught In Shell Game
		Station owner Ranbir Thakur must pay a $20,000 civil penalty to the State of Iowa as a result of a lawsuit alleging Thakur's Citgo gas station business placed lower-grade regular gas in tanks supplying pumps that sold mid-grade and super-premium gasoline.
		The investigation determined that several gasoline tanker-truck drivers had been asked by Thakur to put 89-octane gas in tanks meant to hold 91- and 93-octane gasoline at the Citgo #578 gas station in Davenport.
		In addition to the $20,000 fine, the station faces more frequent inspections by the Weights & Measures Bureau and will lose its license to sell gasoline in Iowa if there are similar violations in the future.

		Nixon is seeking full restitution to all consumers who have suffered a monetary loss, including the cost of repairs; an injunction prohibiting the defendants from future violations of Missouri law; civil penalties; and court costs.

	The Japan Times Online
		If gas stations in Japan were required to be strategically located like polling stations -- one within walking distance of every voter -- then theoretically, due to their similar numbers, a car wouldn't be needed to get to one.
		Takamitsu Kurosaki, head of research and planning at the National Federation of Petroleum Associations, said oil companies rushed to expand their gasoline retail networks in the 1990s ahead of the 1996 lifting of import restrictions on cheap gasoline.
		If the number of gas stations a nation has were based merely on simplistic geographic terms, and not on population or number of drivers, it would seem Japan has a high concentration.

		By 1920, the gasoline pumps were evident throughout North America, before electrification became a national initiative in Canada or the United States, and long before the standardized and interconnected electrical grid that we take for granted today was in place.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Politics (Katrina and the Waves)
		However, Florida state officials maintained that although gasoline may temporarily be in short supply in some areas due to production interruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina, the state still had plenty of gasoline, companies were working to get additional supplies from the Northeast and overseas, and no multi-day gas station closures were planned.
		It is true that gasoline began to be "rationed" immediately after Hurricane Katrina as refiners and wholesalers put many eastern marketers on allocation (i.e., restricted the amount of fuel they could buy), but this form of rationing technically applies to retailers, not to customers.
		Gasoline has effectively been rationed in the sense that many customers have been unable purchase it because individual retailers have run out of product, or individual retailers have placed limits on the amount purchase per-customer purchases, but we do not know of any plans for government-instituted gas rationing programs.
