I recently had the occasion to call around asking for
a gas tank for my '84 Toyota Tercel wagon (4wd--the
filler hose is on the opposite side, don't ask me,
I just drive it).

Rohrich       $254.91      4 days
Airport       $231.45      ~week
Century III   $231.74      overnight (order goes in at noon)
Krebs         $231.74      *in*stock*
McWilliams    $231.74      ~week

Analysis:  Well, once again, Krebs seems to be the most all-around
reasonable (I've had them not charge me for simple diagnoses, etc),
and on the ball.  The Airport price is puzzling (perhaps the guy
figured tax wrong?).  Also not a surprise, Rorhrich wins the overall
booby prize--you pay them a 10% premium for below-standard service.
