On modern cars the gas tank is usually sealed and pressurized when working properly. It takes a while for gas to go stale in that kind of environment.

- jfim 3y agoThat's good to know, thanks!
- IgorPartola 3y agoThis and fuel injection means that you can’t nearly as easily gum up small passages since they run at 30-1000 psi depending on the design.
- vel0city 3y agoYep, that'll also reduce the negatives of bad gas. Then on top of that you've got lots of detergents blended in these days to try and help prevent/cleanup that stuff, and modern ECUs can detect and dynamically remap when the gas is starting to go bad, etc. Unless you're leaving the gas in your modern car for >~1yr I probably wouldn't worry about it too much.
