I don't know about that: I'm still working on the gallon of gas I bought (& mixed with 2-cycle oil) for the chainsaw last year. I mostly use it to cut firewood in October/November, and it just sits the rest of the time. Then there's the pickup, which I seldom use in the summer. Filled the tank last March or thereabouts, and it ran just fine (after charging the battery) on the 2/3 or so that sat all summer.
Then to go back a good way, during the oil embargo in the '70s, I was working on a farm, where the owner for years had just parked all his old vehicles in the back lot, instead of hauling them to the junkyard. Most of them had some gas in the tank, which we drained & used in the farm equipment.
