    I remember Matlack doing futures. They set a few tanks aside at a number of terminals to receive the surpluss just before the retail price shot up. We had two in our yard that the brokers delivered to and we would pump some [beyond keeping our own storage chock full]into company units to deliver to their home terminals. Contracts ran out around the time the price came back down.
