If it asn'r evaporated, it must be good. I believe white gas is comparable to Amoco 93 octane.

No.

Here is some info on Coleman fuel (a brand of camping stove/lantern fuel):

The Coleman fuel of today has not changed in years, it is a blended naphtha with no lead compounds

BTW, white gas is simply gasoline which contains no antiknock additives. It is not the same as Coleman fuel. http://fuel.papo-art.com/#Notes_on_White_Gasoline_
