We're not.  We're talking about much more liquid things.

With the right tilt and separation of pipes, that's no problem.  The pipes
only have to handle half the distance from one gas station to the next; the
other half is handled by pipes going to the next gas station.  Therefore,
one gas station in the middle of a 152 mile stretch, where there's also a
station at either end of that stretch, only needs pipes that can handle
152/4 = 38 miles.  Granted, 4 sets of these pipes would be needed.

If not, it's at least a  more convenient depot for the trucks to carry
things to and from, greatly reducing equipment costs - which in turn
justifies the local pumping.
