I had a 92 S-10 that I was frequently running out of gas. The gauge was working and right in front of me but I didn't pay attention to it. When I took it to Grab-N-Go with 145,000 miles on the clock the fuel pump still worked.
While I'm at it, today on a whim I decided to start my '35 A Deere today. It started like it had been run just yesterday but it hasn't been run for a year and needed a good warming up.

This fuel tank was filled with fresh ethanol a year ago, so why is the two year old gas in the A still decently good but the one year old gas in the R is rotten?
