Old Fuel: Suggestions?

Thanks all. Yes, the car likes the 101 fuel. It's just over 11:1 compression. The 101 runs around $7-7.50/gal around here. I guess I'll be running a hose from the fuel pumps today and giving my daily driver an early Christmas present. Should I be worried about the old fuel sitting in the carb for that long?

I wouldn't worry about what''s in the carb.....if it's like mine it has evaporated over time!!!

If not it will be consumed by the engine very quickly after you start it!!
