What on earth have you been smoking? Better put, what have you been reading? Have you actually every tried treating gas and then storing in an air-tight container? I doubt it. That is, unless you get some awful wierd gasoline.
I've got gas in my Datsun 280ZX that just turned 8 years old and it still starts up fine. Dumb thing to do, yes. I've treated it twice in 8 years (I posted about in an other area of this thread).
Also, this summer I brought home five, 5 gallon jugs I'd had in a shed in the Adirondacks. All dated with Magic Marker. Fall of 2009 and spring of 2010. Both treated once with Stabil. Just brought it all home and dumped it in our two cars. Gas still smelled fine, so we used it. Worked fine, zero problems.
Also had to drain the tank (finally) on my 17 KW Fairbanks Morse generator this past summer. Gas was four-plus years old. Treated twice with Stabil. Brought it home and ran it in our car and Case VAC tractor. NO PROBLEMS.
