I would want to pay for it..HOWEVER, it seems like most everyone in the oil industry is steeling from us lately, so..... The station owner is probobly the most honest one in the bunch...

This would affect the oil companies not the the retailer.

Diesel thefts have gotten real bad just had to buy locking fuel caps for the big truck, someone stole 200 gallons a couple of weekends ago and another 100 gallons this last weekend from my truck, and they hit up 3 other trucks for 200 gallons apiece. And another driver was talking sunday, he woke up sat night, and had to run inside to the restrooms got out of the truck and found a hose from his tank to the truck next to him with a pump, just a going. Cops made the other driver fill his truck back up since he couldn't prove how much fuel he had taken.
