Not to start an arguement, but my theory is - Fuel doesn't go off, it gets contaminated.
I don't know about your fuel (auto gas) in Oz, but hear in fly over land (MN) I have left it in a 2 gallon gas can tightly closed for about a month and when you open it up it smells sour, and could be that corn additive they add hear. So for my lawn mower and weed whip I pick up gas as needed and mix as needed and I still use 1 Oz of sta-bil per gallon just to make any minute bit of water stay mixed, and then just put it in my car.

For my brids will stay with what has worked for me over the years.
