I haven't driven my Prelude around since the event in March and I'm thinking about coming to the Sept event. Is the gas too old? It has a 1/2 tank probably filled up sometime in March.

So I don't know much about gas made in 2016, but according to the internets, you're better off not using that gas. Here is my sources:

My S2K sits in the garage most of the time so I'm always driving on old gas. No issues yet.

Any other input? I have one yay and one nay...

It did fire right up with no hesitation a couple weeks ago (first time since march). Didn't drive it around though.

Just drive it around until its empty. As long you dont floor it and put considerable amount of load it'll be fine.

One more thing, if I'm not going to drive a car for a few months, I fill the tank to prevent condensation.

My rallycross Sentra sat out a season and would hardly run due to varnished injectors. Fix was high concentration of Berryman Chemtool (a cleaning solvent), then dump the gas, then fresh gas with recommended concentration of Chemtool. All better.
