Though I don't understand the need to run down the tanks at all. Petrol labelled E10 is up to 10% ethanol, so couldn't they sell E5, or an E5/E10 mix, and label it as E10? I filled up in late August and the pump was already labelled E10.
Agreed.
How long do stocks last in tanks? Supermarket stations get filled up 2-3 times a day, suburban petrol stations every other day.
