Boy am I glad I live in California.  Here they don't give a hoot about the
O2 content in the bottle, all they care about is filling it with hydrocarbon
free gas.  I can ask for any mix, including 21%, and get it as long as the
bottle is properly marked 'O2 clean'.  In this case, the Nitrox sticker
just keeps 'dirty' fill stations from screwing it up, and inocent bystanders
from accidently using it too deep.
