I had this same question and a guy who really knows what he is talking about told me it would be fine as long as it was stored at room temp,my car wasn't running right at the time.Turned out to be that my carb was gummed up but the fuel was fine.Only one way to find out try it,good luck and hope it's still good for ya.The stuff is too expensive to just throw away.
