My experience is that after 3 or 4 months, you end up with something
gradually approaching diesel fuel instead of gasoline.

  It seems like the most volatile components would evaporate faster, so
wouldn't the result be higher octane? This is all conjecture, other than
lead, I don't know what is used to raise octane.

    I wouldn't toss it out but I wouldn't run it in your race car either. I
    doubt it has anywhere near 110 octane anymore as the light ends tend to
    evaporate off over time, and a year is pretty long.

    Just mix it into the tank of one of your regular pump gas vehicles to
dilute
    it.

    My fellow Pantera buddies.
    I am back working on the car after 10 days of hand holding with the wife
    on a cruise... lost two damn weekends that I could have really used
working
    on the car. Trying to figure out which size race tires to order so I am
on
    line looking at tire rack. Hopefully I will get the cage in this weekend
    along with a million other little things.

    Oh yea I had a question. I have five gallons of 110 octane vp race gas
    that I never used last year (September) when I broke the car. I mix
    a little in when I am bouncing off the rev limiter at 6800 rpm on the
track.
    This gas is in a sealed can.... should I use it or toss it???
    Maybe our Texas boys might have a good answer.

    Thanks
