Orient Express is infamous around these parts
Thumbs up Most automobile gasoline

sits in huge tanks at the refinery sometimes for months before it gets into the distribution system and finally gets burned in your car. I would not worry about gas losing its power if the gas sits for less than 6 months.

More importantly than the gas losing its power is mosture condensation in the car's tank. If you do let your car sit for more than a few months, or every fall regardless, but some moisture dissolver in your gas tank. Frozen gas lines are no fun in the middle of winter.

Good advice!

Frozen anything isn't much of an issue here though.
