In fact that's my mechanic's theory. His exact words were "the gas
we've been getting lately ain't worth crap". I'm not sure who he meant
by "we" but maybe he meant our part of the country. That'd make sense
if other parts of the world don't have the same problems.
I buy most of my gasoline at the Exxon station around the corner. They
do a high volume of sales and I doubt gas stays in their tanks very
long at all. But it does seem odd that some people have problems with
gummy carbs and other people don't.

Try mixing 5% low sulfur diesel into the fuel.

More power and less deposits on the carb. Don't exceed 5% though, or
you'll foul plugs.
It won't go bad as fast either.
