Every problem I have heard about ethanol involved old gas but "old"
is
measured in months not years..

True, the same with gas without ethanol.

--------------------------------

Only as far as oxygenated gas goes .... which is what the ethanol
doped gas is. In the US it has pretty much replaced MTBE as an
oxygenating agent. Gas made 20 years before the introduction of
oxygenated fuel had a much longer shelf life.

You can store it longer in a non-vented container that won't allow
moisture to enter during expansion and contraction, but that's not the
case with cars and boats.
