How curious that you mention this. Down near my WV place the local
store (Bower's Store) in Sugar Grove just had to upgrade his gas
tanks. Of course he only has regular and diesel so I don't always get
gas there (for my SVX powered Westy). In WV gas pumps are usually
every 30, 40 miles...but they might not be OPEN for business. They
aren't 24 hour places like you get used to around cities. After 8pm
you might have to travel 100+ miles between open gas stations.
