    Nothing will off set the ethanol. Stabil will only prolong freshness and octane level. Best thing is to use up the gas as soon as possible.

    try wal-mart they have an additive for ethanol it is light blue in color, around $8.00. I think it is caled star tron in the sporting goods section of walmart.This stuff is suppose to keep the ethanol from seperating from the fuel if water happens to get in the fuel tank. If water was to get in without the star tron it would seperate the Ethanol and fuel then when you got low in fuel it would go into the engine and leave you stranded on the water.

    PS you might think about putting a fuel water seperator inline on the fuel hose for some extra added insurance.I have also bought that at Wal Mart <br /><br />
