Default car sat idle for months; gas okay?

I have a 2001 Accord, which I had to stop driving last August. It had a full tank of gas with no gas treatment in it. Since then it's been driven twice, just for short errands. I started driving it again 2 days ago and so far it's fine but I'm wondering about the gas. I know water will separate out if gas is left in a can (because I have a 5-gallon can of gas and water in my shed!) but I don't know how long it takes.
Any ideas about whether I'll start to have problems as the gas level drops in the tank?
Thanks

Mods: I just spoke to my mechanic (which I should have done in the first place) so you can delete this post.
Thanks
