Why do you have a newer bottle of you think the old one is okay? ;^)

The old one is running low. I picked up a new one on sale. C'mon,
this isn't rocket science.

But... why would you open the new one if there is still product left in the old
one, and you think it never deteriorates? Hmmmm... :^)

I'm not sure about using it in rockets either. There's nothing on the label to
argue for or against it, though!

To compare it to the old one. Come on, Charlie.

I never said I think it never deteriorates. I said I was skeptical
about the claim that it has an indefinite shelf life while on the
retailer's shelf, yet when the consumer takes it home and starts to use
it, it's only good for two years.

What is Stabil anyway? Gas gets old, you lose the thinner fractions to
evaporation so it becomes hard to start, and you get lots of crap and
varnish forming. I can imagine some sort of solvent fighting the second
part, but that would also evaporate out. ???
