Default Deterioration of Gasoline?

I wonder.

My two stroke chainsaw fired up on the second pull today. I haven't
used it for about a year, and there was still gasoline/oil mix in its
tank.



I always have a couple gallons of gas on hand from the previous year.
Usually I take it to a nearby service station and ask if they will
discard it for me so I can refill the can with new.



Yeah, I have a five gallon can for my gasoline mower/tractor and
lawnmower, and a one gallon can with "mix" for the chainsaw and string
trimmer. Fortunately, the latter two devices like the same "mix."

Had a 45' dead pine that fell over on the corner of the property last
year. Now it is about 25 two foot chunks... Managed to not remove any
significant body parts. :)


What brand chainsaw? An Echo or a Stihl, I'm not surprised at all.
Some of the others, though...
