I thought that they built gas stations on top of where the oil deposits were in the ground. That's why the gas stations in my neighborhood were all clustered on corners of the same intersection.
When the big gas trucks would come along, they were filling up their tanker from the gas that was in the ground to take it somewhere else.
Also, when a gas station went out of business, it was because the finished sucking the gas out of the ground so they had to move somewhere else.
