Does higher octane gas last longer?
I haven’t paid much attention to higher octane gas, but now I’m wondering. Does higher octane gas last longer?

Does higher octane gas last longer? Unfortunately, not really; unleaded gasoline typically has a shelf life of three to six months.
The real distinction with higher octane gas is that the higher the octane number, the better the fuel will burn during combustion. If you’re hoping to reduce engine knocking sounds, or if it’s recommended for your vehicle, you might see better performance from using a higher octane gas.
