Old gas = Low Dyno #'s...

Just wondering if anyone has had an actual experience with old gas, or bad gas, giving poor performance (dyno to be exact). I understand in theory that "old gas" could perform poorly...but how old? how poorly?..

My car sat for 7 months while it was being built and it was tuned just fine with that same tank of gas. I highly doubt 3 month old gas is going to change much.

Depends on the decomposition of the octane.

Like everything else in this world, I've heard very mixed opinions.

Well he probably knows more on the subject, I'm only going off what I've experienced.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Its quite possible that my numbers were not effected by the gas's age.
