As I understand it gasoline has a shelf life of 6 months before it starts to degrade enough to cause any problems, gasoline with eithonal has a shelf life of about 3 months.
As it ages the octane rating drops and the volital part of it dissipates as well, I've been told that Leaded gas, like air plane gas has a much longer shelf life of a year or more.
