It is taxed differently at least in Italy. Lower taxes. There were near
where I lived a number of black market propane stations. Don't know why
they were allowed to exist though... Nobody selling black market gasoline
that a knew of though there were plenty of US Service people working a
black market routine to get cash from their gas coupons to help their thin,
thin budget.
