My source is a trusted mechanic who also works on small engine equipment as well. He has used the test strips(before and after) and unlike Sta-Bil, claims it actually knocks down the Ethanol. All the other claimed benefits of the product are essentially the same(reduced gum/varnish,extends gasoline life,stabilizer,etc.) Also, if available in your area(and you can afford it; $7.50 a gal. for me here in CA.), Ethanol free 93 gasoline would be the best to run through the car and store it with. I look forward to any and all feedback about this.
StarTron is what I used in the boat for many years. Don't know about your claims but it did work for me and other boat owners.
