1 year of sitting here can produce gas that does not like to run, depending on the humidity level where the car is stored and the formulation of the gas.

15 years ago there wasn't ethanol in the fuel over here. 4-5 years ago there was 5% in the 95 octane. Now there are a few brands that have none or max 2-2.5% in there 98 oct (such as Shell V-power).
