Ethanol Treatment

[JBW]

date line 2011, i notice i'm was getting less mpg using ethanol blend fuel in my 05 suzuki v-strom 1000. (avg. -1.5 mpg) then, i heard that ethanol treatment fuel additive would fix the problem. so i gave it a try. wow, it works. using sta-bil marine formula ethanol treatment, i got back the lose mpg. now getting same mpg as before ethanol blend fuel. i been using the stuff continuously ever since.

At what mix ratio are you using sta-bil in your Suzuki?


I am considering cat-delete and ashless 2 cycle oil in my air cooled fuel injected 125cc mini-bike
Grom Honda at lawn-boy mower mix ratio or less oil.


This worked in an old Briggs&Stratton grass cutter...which only stalled every 3 feet on 87 octane and cut like a champ on lawn boy gas and oil mix..

1oz. treatment per 1us gal. fuel..

Thank you. I have found this sta-bil marine ethanol formula at a local store.

wow ! that little bit makes a difference ??


The 2-cycle smokeless G-oil synthetic formula at 87:1 or 60:1 has no noticeable effect on fuel economy...but did increase torque and the little 125cc engine runs smoother.

Do you use it w/ every fill-up, or every other fill-up?

i use ethanol treatment at every fill-up whenever possible.
