I also have Snowmobiles,2 Stroke EFI,Since this Ethanol Gas has come out I have been worried.Ethanol is way more harmful on 2 Stroke Engines.Did alot of Research on it.Ethanol is clean Do not ever add water remover is not needed,As far as these other Additives Waste of Money nothing but Snake Oil.I have some Very Fast Sleds An what I have Found is Ethanol Gas only has a Shelf Life of 3 Weeks than it begins to Break Down,So on my Sleds if the Gas is 3 weeks old I siphen out an pour in the car.As far as my Bike Ethanol is clean Fuel So I dont add injection cleaner,But if I dont ride my bike for a bit I do now an then add octane booster,Or when I go to Laconia I bring octane booster cause all they have in NH is 91 octane.

Quit worrying. I just rebuilt a 15 year+ old carb that has had a steady diet of 10% Ethanol Gas. (all we have had for years.) setting long enough to dry our carbs is what gets them especially oil/gas mix..not the ethanol.

need more info. what mpg are you getting before you use it and what are you getting after? 40 miles per tank doesn't sound like all that much until you consider that you have a 5 gal tank. that equates to 8 mpg more, if you run the tank bone dry. you're talking about an increase in mpg in the neighborhood of 25%.

Costco gas have additives already but run redline about once a year. In the autos I had the injectors pulled and had them cleaned and calibrated. It's a must on high milage injectors.

No. Some companies go with the newer minimum additive standards,the top tier gasolines use the previous standards that use a higher concentration of additives,
