Default gasoline additives

Gentlemen - Since the cold weather is here for awhile, and driving is much less, I have a question regarding the gasoline additives that are available. Is it wise to use the additive that eliminates alcohol in the fuel. I've used it on storing and full time use of small gas motors and they seem to run much better, but I've never used them on a automobile engine. I've also used "Stabil" in stored gasoline in a can and also in small gas engines, but again, never in an automobile engine.

I did recently buy a can of "Seafoam" but have not put it in the car yet. Any thoughts? I've used Seafoam in a little HHR I had and it did run better. On the can it says it stabalizes the fuel. I thought it was strictly a valve, combustion chamber, throttle body cleaner.

My goal here is to preserve the full tank of gas that will be in the car over winter, eliminate any chance of rust forming in the tank, and have the fuel ready to run in the event of some decent weather for limited driving over winter.

Any thoughts are welcomed.

Jim
