True007 mentioned:
" The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you buy the Marine Grade Sta-Bil treatment. (dark blackish color as opposed to the pinkish red) It is especially made for Ethanol treated gas, which we all pretty much have now and can be used in anything except diesel. I've used it for the last five years at home and work with no ill effects whatsoever. Easiest place to find it is at a marina or boat store all though I have seen it in automotive stores too. "
I have used Sta-Bil for a number of years + + , but was not aware of the Marine Formula indicating Ethanol Treatment. Neither FactCheck or Snopes had any info, did not check Consumer Reports. Big Box stores did not have, rather than drive to a marina, bought at NAPA. Clerk mentioned that only recently was the product being displayed , front counter.
I was surprised at the cost for the 1 quart ( 1 oz ea 5 gallons ), shelf life of 2 years, size that treats up to 320 gallons, list price of $30.24, after discount sell price is $23.24. NAPA did not have the smaller size container.
Use the moth balls and scented dryer sheets....appears to work, have not had any problems.

cold weather and Cobras
I have cruised in COLD weather and have never considered using Stabil in my car although I always used it in my boat. Floor the car 3-4 times and it lights every time. I own a landscaping company with LOTS of other engines, and my process is to run the motor out of fuel then pull a plugg(s) and use outboard motor fogging oil to coat the cylinders. Turn the motor over and all surfaces are coated.
below are some video of cold weather Cobra action (missed gear.)Notice the snow on the ground.....

LOW 20's this day and drove home in sleet which hurts at speed. The MT Drag radials worked good.

Also, common practice with campers and motor homes is to use Comet cleaning powder sprinkled around the tires. Keeps ALL rodents out!!! 
Cruise on.
