I picked up a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil today. $6 vs. $14 for a equal sized Sta-Bill bottle. I was surprised to read on their site that it is good for storage. Certainly it's a cleaner. Based on my readings I think Sta-Bil for Ethanol is likely a more focused product.

Isn't the Sta-Bil for ethanol supposed to be for E-85? I think the regular Sta-Bil is for pure gas and E-10.

Does all gas at stations that post the little sign saying that ethanol is in the gasoline have the ethanol in it or is it just the lower octane gas?


Bastard EPA and the Federal Government!
I wouldn't blame them...
I'd blame all the money Archer Daniels Midland shmeared all over Washington for so many years.
ethanol was their baby.

Ooops you forgot Cargill. All need is a lobbyist and a lot of money.

It's for any ethanol gasoline. They market that it has already proven good for up to E-85.
