Out of order signs pop up at Vermont gas pumps

9. I know this regulation killed 2 gas stations in my old home town

Both stations were there , I believe, since the town was laid out and cars appeared on its streets. One of them was an old horse stable. Neither of them could afford to have the tanks dug up and replaced since they were barely hanging on and having a hard time competing with the stations in the outskirts of the town which offered gas a few cents cheaper. One station tanks were leaking gasoline under the ground and it was in danger of exploding a store downhill from it.
