Just checked my jug Mark and was unable to find an expiry date. Stuff smells like varsol. Probably no shelf life.

I'd say so: park your car on CT foam tiles at normal tire pressure - see "Another flat spotting..." thread for pics, use a little Stabil, auto battery charger/maintainer in the cigarette lighter socket, set mouse traps and go skiing.

skiing (Beaver Creek, CO), skating (home rink, help couch my kids ringette) or snowmobiling (anemic, but super cheap 2004 Polaris Trail Deluxe Fan).....

The other thing to keep in mind is ethanol blends. Ethanol has a tendency to attract and absorb water, so I'd use Shell V-Power for storage as it has no ethanol.
