The Gas4Cash and Sincere Gas stations on this particular stretch of interstate had been competing for years. When the oil
Crisis struck, competition became a matter of survival. Both were
keen to take all the custom from the north/south crossing over the Palamino
Ravine and it wasn't long before both had resorted to hiring creepers to
sabotage the opposing gas stations. High Explosive mortar rounds
rained around the rival gas stations, until the bridge over the ravine
collapsed from structural damage and lay as rubble at the bottom.
The Federal Highway Commission- not yet disbanded through corruption charges,
built another bridge a little further up the ravine as a temporary measure.
This too was destroyed in a subsequent melee. Further attempts to span
the gap were abandoned halfway through construction, leaving incomplete
bridges along the length of the ravine. The only way across now,
was the long way round, except for the criminally insane, who took advantage
of these new "ramps" to hurl themselves into destruction.
After a while, the rival
stations noted that people had a habit of filling up with fuel before making
the cross country route, rather than wait until reaching the other side.
In the mornings, Gas4Cash reaped the benefits
of the northerly traffic, whilst in the evenings Sincere
did likewise with the south bound cargo carriers. Not content with
sharing the profits this way, each decided that the only way they were
going to drive the other out of business was if they were the only one
with gas to sell. Thus started the Gas Wars- as each station sent
a tanker, specially equipped with "Injekta-Gaz" Rules of the Game:
