I don't know how true this is... but I've read that gas can go bad. Would this be a problem for the Volt?

People commenting on the original article say there are sensors that keep an eye on the fuel and run the gas motor as necessary to use gas before it goes bad (water accumulates, etc.).

6 months is not a problem and I predict that 12 months is safe with optional small enhancing chemicals.

The volt will run the gas engine to keep the gasoline from goin bad.

The Volt also has a specially sealed gas tank which greatly lengthens the time that the gas stays good.
