It'll last a year without stabilizer added but don't expect your car to run very well. I managed to start a generator on three year old gasoline once and it was not pretty.
My general rule around the ranch is if it smells like paint thinner we don't use it..well we do mix it with some diesel and use it to light up our brush piles.
Old gas and old carborated v8's can eat pretty nasty fuel.
My grandpa had a '56 Bel Air convertible with a 327 small journal in it. The fuel in the tank was over a decade old, it brought up chunks of rust, was rust coloured and after replacing the inlet filter on the quadrajet, started right up and idled perfect.
Try that with a fuel injected engine and see what happens.

That’s excellent advice. Rock on.

Take a look at solar generators.
Exactly...that fits our rule..if it smells like thinner or varnish, don't use it unless you're starting brush pile fires.
