<VV> Non-Corvair Specific: Gas freezing?

 At that altitude, the engine won't breathe! Or anyone else... :)

I don't know where Matt's flying his piston aircraft, but -80F would be up 
around 250,000 feet (outer space).  http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/standard-atmosphere-d_604.html

At that altitude freezing gas would be the least of your troubles.

I assume one of you chemist types will know the answer here.  The question is, 
just out of curiousity, what is the freezing temp of gasoline?  I assume it will 

freeze at some temp, but so far down the scale everything else in the car has 
become non-functioning.

Basically  at below -97F....  Piston aircraft  at higher altitudes see -80F  
regularly..
