- Seeing as how the gas tanks at the station are underground, though, I
- doubt that there would be much variation between times of day, or even
- seasons of the year (ground temperature stays pretty constant). The
- only way I can think of to get ahead would be to buy gas in winter
- just after the station had been re-filled by a tanker. Having the
- surface of the tanker out in the cold air probably _would_ cool it
- down quite a bit, making it correspondingly more dense.
