Why does gasoline eventually go bad?

Ok, so in shows like Walking Dead they siphon gas from old cars. Would that work, just not as well? Or would all gasoline be worthless after a few years?

There is a certain type of bacteria which can develop in gasoline if water is present by doing that also creating a sturdy bio film which can clog the engine therefore fucking up both gasoline and engine

Most modern gasoline is cracked gasoline, which means, it is produced by thermally decomposing heavier hydrocarbons. Cracked hydrocarbons contain double bonds, which means they have spare bonds and will eventually re-couple back into long heavy molecules that don’t belong in gasoline.
Non-cracked gasoline produced directly by oil fractionation exists, but most of it is low octane and is used as lighter and burner fuel (e.g. Coleman fuel, Zippo fuel) rather than motor fuel. Its octane number is around 50 and it will knock horribly and possibly damage the motor if used as motor fuel. But it does not go bad, as it is made of almost entirely single bond hydrocarbons.

So can you add something to bad gas to make it usable? For regular or premium gas?
