minus-squareTHED4NIEL@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoIt doesn’t go bad so fast though. As a rule of thumb: gas is good 2-3 months in a car tank, before it’s ability to properly combust deteriorates. It wont go bad immediately, but it’s power yield worsens over time, so does your car’s mpg, because it needs more gas to compensate. Just don’t let it sit there like half a year
