yes, have used it in the past. changed over to starbright star tron enzyme fuel treatment about 5 yrs ago tho. It is more of a complete fuel treatment. I have a ski boat, outboard engine, and a bunch o' power equipment/lawn mowers that i use, so i always put some in, run the engine a bit to circulate, and then go through the winterization (depending on which thing i'm working on). My old outbaoard mechanic who had about 50 yrs experience steered me away from the stabil (he didn't like it) and put me on the star tron. that being said, this topic is probably like a "which is the best oil" question 
But yes, i think its a good idea is she's going to be sitting for a while with the same gas!!

I store my car from around December 1st until the middle of March or so and always put a bottle of Sta-Bil in the tank when filling the tank for storage.

I have been using Staybil in engines for over 20 yrs. Living in central North Dakota I use it in my ice auger, boat, snowmobile, weed eater, lawn tractor, pressure washer, leaf blower, motorcycle, snowblower and of course the corvette. Weather it's summer or winter something is always being stored.

I fill the tank and park my Vette and Grand Prix for about 4 months each winter. No fuel treatment. About once a month I trickle charge each battery. When the salt is washed off the roads in the Spring....they fire right up. Been doing this for many years.
I think advertising has most people worried about not spending all their money.
