Not sure when it was last filled up. Probably a few months ago at this point and with "normal" 93 octane with ethanol.
I'd think that if it was bad gas, it would at least try to stay running, albeit poorly. And I leave half a tank of gas in my racecar for the entire off season with no ill effects - can't think three-month-old gas would be that problematic.
