gas?

RE: gas?
I've heard 60 days before gas starts to get old, just what I've heard though. I stick stable in my cars and my bike, they usally set for 4-5 months during the winters. I beleive your supposed to run it a little so it works it way into the fuel lines too. Just another tip if you don;t already know, but fill the tank as much as you can before storage, it leaves less room for condensation to form in the tank.

Seafoam is both a fuel stabilizer and a cleaner.
Most cleaners don't do much more than reduce - they're not really going to fix a really bad problem. I've used seafoam on a number of vehicles as a gas additive with really good results. It really does seem to clean. I keep track of every tank of gas I run through my vehicles - last week I put a can in my cavalier. Instead of gettin 500km on that tank I got damn near 600km.
Despite being good - if I ever had a really bad set of carbs I wouldn't waste my money using cleaners as a fuel additive. At that point the best thing to do is take the carbs apart and clean them properly with very soft cleaning tools.
I find it's worth running in all of my vehicles once a year... at that frequency I can see (prove) results from my log books.

RE: gas?
You should be alright with 2 months but that SHOULD be the limit. I have never used stabilizers in anything (except my new bike). My cavalier has the same gas in it from about 3 maybe 4 months ago. Started right up and run fine (besides jumping the battery). Bottom line IMO is you should alright with 2 months, but I would ride until empty and fill her back up with fresh gas. Wouldn't hurt to run some sea foam through as well, it can only help.
