Low Mileage Gas Question
I do not use my 2002 coupe as a daily driver. That being said I will drive less in the winter,
probably less than 50-100 miles a month. What would be the recommended gas treatment or best way to keep the fuel system protected?
thanks-bob

Fill the tank and put in 1 bottle of Techron while you fill it. You will be fine. I never used Stabil and never had a fuel related issue. Techron is good stuff and helps prevent sulfation of the fuel sender.

Agree with techron..
Also, try to find NO EHTANOL Gas... Esp for low mileage times of year
Ethanol attracts water - not good !
There are plenty of products that stabilize fuel.. Just check the bottle.
You probably don't go thru much fuel, so might be a good idea to add some.
Lucas makes a good product too
