It had about 1/2 tank of Shell premium in it, with whatever crap they ladle into here in AZ in the summer.

I decided to get it going again, get the registration up to date, etc. I charged the battery and primed the fuel pump (key on/of about 10x). It started immediately, ran perfectly. The gas in it was close to 1.5 years old. Didn't miss, smell weird, etc. Took it and smogged it, passed first try. I've been driving it regularly since then, and fueled it once so far, no problems to note at all.

IMO, maybe the problems with fuel aging are a bit overstated.

Good info. Hmmmm. I am starting to think a medium rare mouse may be the culprit, as hinted by Sloan.
