Ron, 100LL can be stored in a SEALED container for two years and still be
all right to use. Mogas is getting iffy after two months even if the
container is perfectly sealed. Its reduced life is because of all the
aromatic hydrocarbon additives that replace the anti detonation properties
of lead. Racing fuel is just higher octane and more resistant to
detonation. 100LL can cause lead fouling of your spark plugs and pack up
your engines gear box, decreasjng the time between rebuilding it. If you
think you might run leaded fuel from time to time then run the
semi-synthetic, it's better at keeping the lead in suspension than full
synthetic. If you follow Rotax' oil change recommendations the oil barely
has time to start breaking down.
I've run my Toyota truck to 15,000 miles between changes of Mobil 1.
200,000 miles and it still runs like new.

Ron,
We use nothing but 93 octane auto gas in our 914. For winter storage we try to
have the tank about 1/2 full and add Stabil at the suggested concentration.
We run the pumps to get it distributed through the entire system. In the Spring,
we top up with fresh auto gas and go flying.
We've done this for more than 10 years without a problem. Our plane is in a unheated
hangar all winter.
This is the same way we store our sailboat outside each winter. We've done that
for 35 years.
We use AeroSport 4 oil.
Jim & Heather
