When storing you corvette for the winter do most of you use stabil or is there something better to use.

I use the Lucas additive 1oz for 5 gallons have had gas that was 2yrs old with out issue.

Also I recall at the C5/C6 seminar at Carlisle 2018 Paul Koerner recommends you DO NOT fill your tank for storage, I am not sure exactly but it was 1/4 or 1/2 full had something to do with the sending unit getting damaged, maybe why people have the issue where your tank has less gas than your gauge shows.

I use a 20 oz bottle of Techron and a bottle of Sta-Bil when putting my car up for the winter. Has worked well for me.
