2003 trailblazer. I am thinking of letting the car winter in unheated storage and using it in the summer for boat towing etc. My thought use premium non oxy and stabalizer, rather than regular and 10% ethanol and stabilizer. Your thoughts?

Great idea. I do the same thing with my generator.

Most likely it won’t make any difference. The stabilizer will keep both flavors of gas from going bad over just one season.

Not using Stabilizer might not even be needed for that short of time but just put it in with what ever fuel you normally use .

Yeah I’d agree with that. That’s what I’ve been using for my small engines for years now and never had a problem. It’s a little higher priced but figure what’s a dollar or two a month extra?
