[Shotimes] there arose such a clatter

[Ron Porter]

I believe the "new tanks" deal was a federal EPA requirement, as a lot of
the older independent gas stations went out of business rather than pony up
the $$$ to change the tanks out.

Yup its hard to find anything higher than 91 here; but as far as bad gas,
don't think so.  I get worse results every time I drive out of state; I
think everything including gas is so regulated here that its pretty good.
The state required every gas station in the last few years to dig up the old
tanks and install new ones; I was involved in that somewhat.  You should
have seen the condition of some of the old ones; I would guess other states
would be in the same condition.
