They are hydrocarbons, chemically speaking they are pretty inert,
all they really do is burn.

The problem seems to be with oxidation of the fuel.

If you store it in a completely full container, surely it can't oxidise ?

That sounds logical, however, I have no specialised knowledge.

You could try storing under nitrogen, and then it should last forever.

The problem is really in the nature and progression of the emergency. In
Survivors the die-off was supposed to have been very rapid, over a couple of
weeks as I remember, and anything from 99% - 99.99% depending on which
episode and which character's lines the figures appear in. That leaves a lot
of resources for a small number of survivors. In a more likely scenario a
progressively building emergency would have seen a rapid decline in stocks
of both fuel and food due to panic buying and failure of the manufacturing
and transport facilities, because of people off work sick or too afraid to
go to work and become exposed, and perhaps problems with power supplies due
to the same causes. The survivors would then have to have been a bit more
inventive in where they got their supplies, though of course there are
alternatives.

Without maintenance, roads would become unusable in a few years, if they
really were empty to begin with as some seem to hope.

In Steven King's THE STAND motorcycles and bikes become the main mode
of transport early on, as they can get around or through most traffic
jams.

and air tight, but then you'd need some sort of expansion ability,
so i would guess a flexible container?
