For some reason 'clear' gas is readily available at local stations and marinas here in W. Oregon. Which is good, because I have never found the additives for ethanol to be effective. The carbs still get messed up. BTW, I don't think Sta-bil has anything to do with the alcohol problem. It addresses the issue of shellac-like gunk that forms in gas (ethanol or clear) that has to be stored for a long time.

I agree with your assessment of sta-bil. Also, sta-bil itself goes bad.
