Gasoline and other petroleum derivatives are not a stable as their underlying source. However consumer gas will last a few years with proper care and storage, the real issue will be when appropriate storage runs out.

There's a decent chance your car won't start. The gasoline in the tank is probably fine, but the gasoline in the fuel lines and so forth has likely turned in useless gunk.
