the majority of my engineering field experience is in tank truck loading facilities and compressor stations. i know how much they paid for design and construction of projects done. be it grass roots or upgrades. here's a little tid bit. when a tank truck loads it's tanks to bring the fuel to the gas station it is temperature compensated for density so that when the truck takes on 1000 gallons, it takes on 1000 gallons whether it's 32 degrees outside or 100. they don't compensate for temperature at the pump when you fill your tank. little bit goes a looooong way. granted that would be on the gas station itself. so that could go either way for profit or loss. but still.
