    Does gas have an expiry date? If not, why not buy a truck full of it and keep it for the next few years...

      Why would you buy now? It'll be half the price in a year or two.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

        Sell it now and buy it in a years time.

          Gas doesn't keep for long. A few months, I think. Maybe a year.

            I don't know that petrol can go off as such. The reason petrol may seem to go off is because blends change throughout the year so as to prevent excessive evaporation or insufficent volatility depending on the climate. Leave it a couple of months and you'll have the wrong blend for the climate.

            Edit - apparently there is something about gumming and varnishing after ~60 days on wikipedia.

              I'm no expert, but I have a small gas can that I use for my lawn mower and I had some gas in it left over from last summer. When I tried to use it this spring, it didn't work. New gas did the trick. I do use the fuel stabilizer, but I guess it just doesn't work for ~1 year.

                      IT can but it simply didn't . The lack of harmful materials in the Alaska crude caused them to not perform certain maintenance activities that are considered routine on other pipelines

                        maybe it's just too damn cold for anyone to want to perform maintenance on those pipelines.

                          Why, sheer speculation of course!

                          That speculation is informed by the boom/bust nature of the oil biz. Deep in my gut, I respect that cycle.

                          Add some judgment based primarily on an end-of-the-year 2005 field-by-field analysis by Daniel Yergin indicating that more than sufficient new capacity is coming on line in the 2007-2008 timeframe and that China demand growth has slowed dramatically.

                          Of course, the normal heavy caveats apply.
