Right.  So if you have a choice of storing gas or diesel, and gas usually
doesn't have to be replentished by truck, since it's _usually on-tap_, but
diesel _always has to be replentished by truck_, since it's _never
on-tap_, why would one ever choose diesel unless, as per previous caveat,
clueless fire marshalls thought it was really preferable?
