But, when one considers the millions of tankfulls every day, the 80 cents per tank is enough to make a law firm's partners rich beyond all imagination.
But not enough to get a single consumer a refund...
This is nothing less than a bald-faced money-grab -- legal extortion -- like most "class-action" suits.
Of course that assumes the retailer sees the extra vol. Remember, the retailer gas comes from above ground tanks in to 'above ground' trucks into a below ground tank.
The retailer is going to see (sometimes) his volume contract. He doesn't see the variation on sales volume as much since as pointed out already the below ground temp is fairly stable. But he will see the above ground temp as delivered change.
