   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3661
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Arnold and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - contracts. Petroleum restriction was part of the parties' real
   estate contract and the provisions of the contract and restriction had to be
   considered together; district court did not err in enforcing the petroleum
   restriction as it continued to benefit BP and the changes in BP's
   circumstances and business plans were not such as they defeated the
   purpose of the restriction, which required plaintiff to buy his petroleum
   products from BP for a period of at least 10 years.
