Couldn't agree more. I have read where gasoline phase separation can happen in less than a month. Maybe that's just marketing materials being put out by the makers of these additives, but for me, I would rather spend a couple of extra bucks getting treated gas and/or buying the stabilizers than risking damage to a multiple thousand dollar motor hanging off the back of my boat.
