Should One Stockpile Gasoline?

Would the current events affect the price of worldwide gasoline enough to make stockpiling gas right now worthwhile, cost wise? Which places would be affected the most?

Gasoline is highly volatile.

They say:

Properly stored gasoline can last up to half a year.
Ethanol-blended gas lasts up to 3 months.
Pure gasoline keeps for at least 6 months.

Coincident?

You can put fuel stabilizers in it. I'm also gonna be honest during the pandemic I didn't fill gas in my car for over a year and it still turned over

It's also reasonable to assume most gasoline is already stabilized to a degree. Reddit bros like to " 🤓 actually this apocalypse show is bad because people wouldn't be driving cars after 6 months because all the gasoline would go bad "

Meanwhile my shitty, cheap, gas power garden tiller has had the same gasoline in it for like 3 or 4 years now and still starts up and runs fine. I started a remote job during the pandemic and so I put a stabilizer in my cars fuel. All it did was make it run weird till I eventually had to fill up with fresh gas 9 months later.
