I remember my dad using white gas for our camp stove and its shelf life was great.
"Great" is an understatement.
My parents had old Colman fuel laying around as did my siblings. They knew we camped with a camp stove (until 2007) and gave us their old fuel. After we bought our motorhome, we had no need for that fuel. Still I kept it for years longer just in-case, and I still have one gallon today. After all those years it still remains clear as water and smells like new so I put most of it to good use in my car's fuel tank.
White gas used in camp stoves and lanterns is unleaded fuel without additives including cleaners and pollution retardants. It is as pure of an automobile fuel as you can buy, though I wouldn't recommend driving around in tank fulls of it.
