Yeah, and from what I've heard, there is a bit of a hub and spoke model involved too. Lots of fuel gets delivered to large tanks at centralized, relatively nearby fuel terminals with short distance delivery to the stations. This last mile delivery is also the most inefficient, as it involves heavy diesel trucks in urban traffic situations that are almost a worst case for them.
It seems like almost the perfect case for electric trucks. At least I haven't seen a compelling reason to believe otherwise yet.
