    How stable is Sta-bil?

    thankfully the military (AAFES PX) only sells real gas....regular is 93 octane and premium 98 according to the stickers on the pump. Fuel comes from a local contractor and we are running $2.95 for reg and $3.15 for the high test. I'll toss the bottle, although my friends at the local PX are out...
