When I was a kid, I believed that gas stations were set up where they struck oil, like in cartoons: "Eureka! there's oil in them thar hills!" And they would quickly build a gas station. The truth was told to me when I remarked to my parents on a 4-gas station New Jersey intersection: "They sure discovered a lot of oil around here."
