Due to winter coming combined with Covid I won't be driving any of my vehicles much. What are you all recommending to treat your fuel(gas)? Not a huge Stabil fan. We have 10% ethanol in gas here :

I've used Stabil stabilizer for winter storage for years with no problems. What is your concern?

Once you get outside of metro Milwaukee or Madison EPA zones (typically the metro plus surrounding counties), you can find 91E0. En route to Road America, I use one of three stations depending on the route (almost all gas in IL is ethanol; same for MN, but not WI.)

If from the SW, there's a Shell at the eastern East Troy I-43 exit with 91E0 VPower. Coming from Madison I-90E, there's one at Johnston City. If more northerly, the Shells and BPs in Fond du Lac have 91E0.

This may help:

I've used Stabil without issues, BTW, but would opt for E0 if possible.

BTW, if the car sits a lot, you may want one of these -- the 2er has a lot of parasitic drain:

Hook it to the underhood terminals; the 12V sockets turn off at car off.

HTH.

E10 93 octane has a 9 month shelf life before it has issues with separation
87 octane has a 2 month shelf life
Keep the tank filled with good 93 like shell
You should have no problems
I would stay away from the fuel additives
With these new engines they do more harm than good

Could you provide specific problems caused and sources for the claim of harm please?
