Seattle Oil Co.

Exactly what it says, its a non-profit business I made that just refills the gas pumps and stuff at Seattle. I aim to grow bigger and be able to refill all of Washington, or even transport gas to people for a cheap price (just so you dont run into seattle or have to buy 15 gas cans to fill up 1 industrial generator)
I even did some research before making this, out of 3 visits to Seattle Gas Station the average percentage was 20%, that is enough to fill 1 industrial gas can about 5%, or barely refill a empty vehicle.
If you want to donate to Seattle Oil Co, donate them to Pirate Skillz (all proceeds will go to helping me make better transport vehicles and a bigger oil refinery)
If you have any questions let me know

If you start using pump jacks, eventually mass bases, it'll create massive lag due to the game having to run the pumpjack animation 24/7

Well there goes my side hustle of stealing everyone’s gas and selling it back for a profit 😉

So I have a set limit on Pump Jacks, and what I might do is actually move to other gas stations if lag occurs severely. So currently my Oil Refinery is at Bellevue Golf Course, which is pretty far away from Seattle, and this is to try and minimize lag for other people. Also, I'm setting a limit at about 20-25 pump jacks, as it takes about 5 to fill up 1 industrial gas can. So, for science, if I set out 20 pump jacks, 20/5=4/2=2, this means those one weird circle gas containers is equal to 2 industrial gas cans. So if I have 20 pump jacks, I basically am making 2 of those circle gas containers.
Now 20 might seem overkill as it will produce alot of lag, but since Pump Jack's animations are really simple, it shouldn't cause anything but maybe 1-2 loss in FPS (which for people with over 180 fps will make them want to die, i get 30 fps stop complaining about losing 30 fps if you get over 100...)
so yeah

You know what?
Duke's right (hear me out here).

Every time one tries, and fails, they get a chance to learn. To better themselves. To make fewer mistakes, and go at their ambitions with a drive renewed.

I like this idea.
