Your mind tells you the additive is suppose to help and you get tricked into thinking it really does help. Carb cleaner if your carb is dirty or a stabilizer if you are going to store gasoline for 3 years or more. Gasoline will normally stay fresh for at least 2 years given it is kept cool and dry.
I wish more people were as smart as you. Everything you posted is 100% accurate. All those "octane boosters" are a complete waste of money and most are 99.9% kerosene.
