I don't think it loses octane over time either. It just becomes unstable with age - that's why they suggest you use a stabilizer for long term storage.

It will get stale, it will eventually turn into a varnish in the carb. Stations do not put stabilizer in their tanks either. It takes less than a 5% loss to make High test be regular..
