    Wouldn’t even be a year. Gasoline has a shelf life of six months. Three months if it’s an ethanol blend.

    After that, you’re down to homemade diesel, electric vehicles, and bicycles.

      That’s not correct. I have ethanol-free petrol for my chainsaw that has a shelf life of 5 years guaranteed (probably lasts longer, since that’s from the time of purchase)

        Not everyone knows that ethanol is simply worse for fuel efficiency and only exists to be a corn subsidy for farmers. I know E85 tuning exists which is cool but it’s still mostly trash.
