"In a lawn mower - sure. In your newer car - Nope."
Not trying to disagree but I've read the opposite is true (?) the car's computer will adjust to keep the car running with bad gas, the lawnmower can't do that.
ETA: I'll find out tomorrow! I just dumped about 4 gallons of PRI-G treated 16 month old gas into my car's mostly empty gas tank.
"I always used sta-bil in Alaska to keep our 100 gl. Tank fresh."
I thought this was interesting (from the Sta-bil web site):

Myth #4: “STA-BIL branded products are just kerosene.”
Here’s our official answer, direct from Chief Chemist and V.P. Of Product Engineering Mike Profetto:
“STA-BIL brand additives use a highly-purified petroleum distillate to deliver our additive package to the fuel. This solvent allows the additives to quickly blend completely into the fuel. The additives themselves would be too concentrated to blend easily, especially in cold weather. Use of more flammable solvents like gasoline would make shipping and storage too dangerous. The addition of the recommended dose of STA-BIL product to fuel has always been safe. Dozens of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have confirmed this by testing and recommending our products.”
How come during no portion of the answer, they didn't just say, IT ISN'T JUST KEROSENE?
