Also hard to pass along the cost of a generator to the customers when you only make a few pennies per gallon.

Yes, I understand that. But I presume that the franchising parent company wants the station to stay in business, yes? Now that this storm has exposed a flaw in their ability to sell fuel, I think that the franchiser and franchisees may work together to come up with a backup power solution. Because there will always be another storm at some point.
