Probably not that much difference when you are talking about tanker sized
quantities. Just fill it up and pump in CO2 above the gasoline. The CO2
is heavy and doesn't require containment. I don't actually know whether
they do this or not but it seems fairly simple. It may be imported by
pipeline also.


Believe me, transporting hazard material is never "simple", especially when
it jumps from "Flamable" to "Explosive". Check what tanker trucks go through
in the final miles from pipeline head or refinery to the gas stations.

But, yes, our biggest source of refined gasoline is from Canada which is
likely pipelined rather than shipped over water routes.

Of course, think how much EPA regulations cover gasoline pipelines.

How much more does it cost to transport gasoline (explosive) as opposed
to
raw crude (merely flammable)? What would the economies be in importing
prior to the past few years?
