Over the years, I've used Sta-Bil, Marine Sta-Bil, and something called Ethanol Shield. I've recently run out and went on Amazon to order more, only to discover there are now dozens of options:

Unfortunately I can't get ethanol-free gasoline anywhere local. Does it matter? Anybody have a preference among all those options? |

sounds like you guys are using this not just for winterization, but all the time. to avoid ethanol gumming up the carb?
guys here are constantly having issues with their motorcycle carbs crapping out with ethanol. this idea is certainy cheaper than buying pure gas by the 1 or 2 gallon can. hope to read more about this. |

I add some ethanol stabilizer every time I fill the tank. But as noted, I use my car for pleasure drives every few weeks, so I'm never sure how long any given tankful will sit before it gets used up. My routine is to usually refill the tank with 10 gallons when it's low, since that's typically the ratio per one ounce of stabilizer. |
