I use the Marine Staibil because of the additional detergents it has. Seafoam Engine treatment works as well.

Check the Stabil website to see which of their revised formulas is best for your use.

Stabil Marine formula (the blue stuff) mainly because it seems to give a better bang for the buck concentration wise.

The best stabilizer there is. Drive the car 40 miles at least once each month. Shouldn't be a problem in Yarmouth since you really don't get much snow.
