Good question I wonder sometimes about filling up with non oxy fuel come spring Since it is not to be used in vehicles how old is it come May1st.
Not to worry. They always mix the non oxy with the E10 so the non oxy is always fresh fuel. You sure dont think they throw it out when it gets old do you.
I highly doubt this is what happens....
I believe fuel delivery to a convenience store/gas station is more likely to be based on supply and demand. If Demand is high for a particular blend, more will be delivered of that blend to meet the demand of the consumer. So...if a certain station only sells, say, 80 gallons of premium fuel per day, I'd suspect their weekly delivery would be somewhere around 600 gallons. For E10, lets say the daily demand is 1,800 gallons per day. This would be 12,600 gallons per week, and could very well need more than one delivery per week to meet demand.
Because all fuels have a shelf life of some sort, I would tend to believe stations are not going to "stock up" on fuel, especially fuels that could potentially sit for quite some time due to lack of demand. They will want to distribute the fuel in a manner that allows fresh fuel to be delivered on a regular basis.
