Update- The ~18 gallons in the sealed drum (last opened in early Nov) tested the same today (3/25) as when the drum was filled. This is a 55 gallon drum, so it was stored only about 1/3 of the way full over the winter with no issues. ---

I’d venture to guess that the content of Capital Region stations is up now…but still many vary from station to station. ---

> [@HudsonFalcon"](#): > > The Cumby’s in CP is almost impossible to get into. Yeah no kidding! If Im there at all its usually just after 6am, not too crazy. Although one time I was there at a bad time, couldnt get in easily, said fuck it and walked over from P-Chop with a 5 gallon can. Anyone ever try the sunoco at 50 & Glenridge? I just recently realized they carried e85 and its only minutes from my house, but Im never over in that area. ---

I use it occasionally. I believe my cousin may have fueled there a few times this year as well. ---

And not to detract from Travis’ topic, I tested the few gallons I had leftover in a plastic 5 gal. from november, same as it was when I pumped it at 72% (146 Cumby) ---
