Actually, Avgas (typically 100 LL) is a completely different thing. It is not
a straight distillate, but a reprocessed "alkylate". The specification ASTM
D910 requires it to have virtually no gum content, because aircraft often sit
long periods between flights.

My quick and dirty research also turned up Stabil the popular solution.
Option (2): using AV gas which is said to be guaranteed for a certain length
of time before degrading. I'm sure a pilot on this list could give the specs
on that, though I've also heard its not as easy as it used to be to buy gas
at the airport.
