These days most garages around here don't even waste time with gas. The guy that owned the garage down the street from me moved to another building just to get away from the unused underground tanks. The tanks were an environmental hot potato and the building changed hands 3 times before someone was forced to remove them. The cost of removing them put his party store out of business. The store is doing OK now because the new owner doesn't have the expense of dealing with the tanks.
