I certainly haven’t been able to figure out how to store useful amounts of gasoline. Gasoline degrades pretty quickly.

Blam and the others are correct. Sta-bil will keep your store of gas fresh for about two seasons. It is available nearly everywhere auto supplies are sold, but it is NOT cheap!
I just installed two 350 gallon fuel barrels (on eight foot towers with filters and hoses and gravity feed nozzles) and had to pay $36 dollars per gallon, it took 2, of sta-bil to add to the fuel. I think the smaller pint bottles were about $11...

Look at the auto parts and discount stores for "Sta-bil" fuel stabilizer (not the other Sta-bil products). It should extend gasoline for up to 12 months.
