Before it was cracked from oil, most of it is somewhere between 5 and 200 million years old, give or take!
In reality, petrol leaves direct from the refinery on a road tanker to deliver direct to the forecourt. It is tested and certified in-specification at that point,and in some cases some of the additive package is only added then.
That means that when you buy it, if you buy from a high turnover forecourt - e.g. supermarket or motorway service station - It is unlikely to be months old and is likely to be in spec.
