Does the tanker truck have wings on it?

If there was an emergency need then yes, it would be flown in but it's barged in at breakup and just before freeze-over. There is only one gas station so it's a monopoly, you have to buy from the guy or barge your own stock in. Typical bush business.

Got below zero in Fairbanks first time today. So far like the winter of 75, where it was just 45 below by Thanksgiving.

Does it take about 2 gallons of gas to deliver 3 gallons of gas?

Or is it 3 gallons used by the airplane emergency method to deliver 2 gallons?
