For over 15 yrs , I have been adding Stabil to my fuel for the Cobra, lawn mower and my five off-road motorcycles, it is cheap insurance. Prolongs the fuel life and helps to reduce the corrosion.

Many opinions out there...just do a quick search of ethanol added to gasoline and you might be surprised of the interactions. I am somewhat biased as well, 25 years working for a OEM supplier of fuel filters/assemblies. The 'new' gasoline w/ethanol changes everything.

Interesting BUT, in the most of the country, they've added ethanol to the fuel for decades. A good friend is an engineer/chemist at the local refinery. I don't deal with "opinions", I deal with "FACTS". Ethanol also raises the octane of the gas as it has an octane rating of 108. You can add Stabil if you like or you can send me the money you would have spent on it and still have the same results and I'll get some extra gas money.
