Message	it loses it's octain I believe...no idea of the real process myself, it does go 'stale' like old bread or something. I think at 1.5 years you might still be ok, I think like 3 years is when you really gotta worry. I've known of a few people who never had a problem with gas at around 1.5 years. Not sure if there'd be any difference with race gas at that high octane level though. Stage VI Naturally Aspirated "What kind of lube are you using?
