It costs about $20-25 for a quart that will treat up to 320 gallons of gas. I put it in the portable gas cans before I go to the gas stations, so I always know any gas I have has the Stabil already in it. In my opinion, you cannot do anything better. Helps clean the system continuously as well. At a cost of $.06-.08 cents per gallon, it pays in the long run by saving repairs caused by ethanol. Small engine shops recommend it.....

I have been told by more than one small engine shop to use Stabil in everything. So like you, I add Stabil to all my portable gas cans before I fill them. Be sure to read the label on the Stabil to get the proper amount, as there is a big difference in the amount you use when you are storing a piece of equipment long term, or going to use the gas right away.
