(he is paying for the NEXT tank remember)I have read that here, and it might be true in some cases, but it isn't true in all cases. In some cases the supplier retains ownership of the gas, and the station owner has it on consignment.

I own a Phillips 66 gas station and all fuel is paid for on delivery. The fuel is mine once it leaves the truck and is sitting in my tanks.
For the last week or so, gasoline has been going down but diesel prices in my area have been rising. Currently my prices at my pumps are 2.70 9/10 for unleaded and 3.50 9/10 for diesel.
