What is the average percentage of drive by traffic that stops at a convenience store? For instance is it 3%, 5% 10%? I read somewhere some time ago that it was between 5 and 10 percents of the drive by traffic. I would like to know for my banker's information what is the average count that stops daily to a convenience store. We are opening a store where the average daily traffic is 13,700 vehicles. How much of that will we be able to count on. We will not be selling fuel.

There is no simple answer to your question. A statistic you may get is based on many, many instances/data points and may have no or little validity to your situation.
The number of people who stop is dependent on your competitors, your access/egress, the attractiveness of your site versus it competitors, what your offered is versus the competition, etc. The list of possible factors that influence a potential customer decisions is long.
You indicated that you do not intent to carry fuel. Gasoline availability is one of the primary reasons people select a c-store.
If you want to have a more accurate idea of how many cars will likely stop at your site, I suggest you hire one of the companies does site validation such as IMST Corp, out of Houston.
