Question
Simply put, how do we as individuals determine how much fuel is sold at any given
station and whether they have sufficient turnover so their fuel is not in fact 'old' diesel.
We cannot park outside the property and observe to see how many
vehicles stop and fill up to ascertain how much fuel is being sold.
Even though I'm retired, I do not have that much time to waste.
It would seem to me that the stations with the lower prices might be moving more fuel
because money talks and therefore the fuel there would be 'fresher' don't you think?
Also, how many trucks stop and fuel up? Some large over-the-road rigs can take on as
much as 300 gallons at one time which would be the same as perhaps 15 to 20 cars.
Also, just because the station appears to be clean above ground does
not mean the same is true below ground in their storage tanks.
Somethings to consider don't you think?
