IN N. WI, Dissel is cheaper than Benzin. 2.79 vs 2.84. Amongst the
yoopers, Benzin is still higher, until you get to Escanaba. It must be
a terminal for tankers, because Benzin was almost reasonable. 2.64.

True, but that ground should be at a single point, not multiple points.
Hence the chastising for driving a ground rod at the AC unit. That would
