It's not as stable as AVGAS though so will tend to stratify if left sitting for extended periods but agitation cam restore it. Unfortunately, here in Canada all MOGAS now has ethanol as part of the eco radical agenda, it's enforced under something called the Clean Fuel Standard and will be inflicted upon the US populace if the democrats stay in power.
