Well since I will be parking my car for the winter should I be adding fuel stabilizer to the gas. I most likely will not be driving the car regularly until spring. So I guess that's about 6 or 7 months. What do you think?

The sorry mixture of garbage that we are sold for fuel today needs all the help it can get. Sta-Bil has been a way of life in the Northern climes where the cars are stored over the winter.
Any gasoline breaks down over time, and the additive helps to slow this process down. Supposedly, the gas is already degrading after a month, so a long winter storage can really gum things up. I've gone as far as putting the car on jack stands for the winter, or used the wheel dollies to try to prevent flatspotting of the tires. |
